It would be ridiculous to think that Noah took two of every animal on the ark. The bible says he took 2 of each sort, meaning group, or animal family and what what we have today is a product of evolution.
Why they evolved that way? no idea.
Wait wait wait. You believe in evolution and you still believe the story of the ark? When was this supposed world wide flood? A few thousand years ago? Evolution takes a bit longer than that. A few million years in fact. And wouldn't there be a genetic bottleneck? We know that cheetas experienced one, we also know humans did at (I think) the end of the last ice age where we went down to about 10,000 individuals. Basically all white Europeans are really really inbred, that's why organ transplants are so easy. So if you are saying what I think you are saying, you don't understand evolution.....
