It was sometime 5000 BC.
Out of curiosity, where did you get that date? For literalists, this puts it around 1000 years before Genesis 1. Or thereabouts.

An even smaller point
where sheba was is debatable
Actually, not really. Most of the sources I've read indicate Saba (Sheba) was a south Arabian Peninsula kingdom fairly well-known in the ancient world. Its capitol was Ma'rib in what is now Yemen, a major oasis and caravan stop on the spice route from Oman. The Sabaeans ruled from around the 10th to around the 3rd Centuries BCE. The kingdom finally collapsed after its control of the trade routes fell apart and following conquest by the Himyarite Empire.

Re: What's the density of hay (or how big/heavy is a bale)?
Nice post. The question arises, besides the animals you mentioned, about what happened to all the lineages/clades of really odd-ball mammals that are completely extinct today. All of the order Pyrotheria - about the size of a mastodon - which have no living descendants. I assume we're supposed to believe that this entire clade wandered off the ark, swam to South America, then promptly died. Maybe our PetVet can explain what Carodnia vieirai (picture a hippo with fangs) ate? And how Noah knew? Then there's the really weird ones like the marsupial carnivore Thylacosmilus (what did it eat, again?). Once more, they apparently got off the ark, swam to South America, then promptly keeled over and died leaving no descendants. The bestiary of "kinds" on the ark doesn't just include dinosaurs, but every one of the now-extinct mammalian orders which left NO descendants. The bible says they were on the ark - what happened to them?
