Of course there is the problem of animals with very specialized diets. For example the Koala bear. The Koala Bear's diet consists of eucalyptus leaves and has an adapted digestive system to extract the required nutrients from low value leaves.

I will delight in hearing how such difficulties can be addressed.
Since very few Creationist are participating and teaching us the word here I will advance some possible theories...
The Koala Bears floated on giant living eucalyptus rafts from the Middle East to Australia along with the rest of the Australian fauna. This theory solves both questions of transportation and food requirements. After the flood Noah with his zoological and nautical know-how built a multitude of rafts or mini-arks to distribute animals throughout the world and provide food for the journey.
Carnivores were provided with stores of dried meat that was prepared from all the floating carcases that floated by the ark during the flood. This remarkable theory also solves the problem of feeding the carnivores during the stay on the ark.
Koala Bears didn't exist at Noah's time but evolved from other base "kinds". God instituted a sort of rapid evolutionary period so that we achieve the diversity we have today. Diversity has ever since been on the decline just like the speed of light and earths gravitational field.
This concept of special evolutionary periods are useful as they also solve the thorny issue of why there are some nasty animal species like the Guinea Worm.
God is good and loving he could not have produced such despicable life forms. However, since the serpent is the lord of this earth he also had a hand in these special evolution periods and consequently some bad apples fell out of the process.
BTW is also why we should not be concerned with the loss of species. If God did it once he can do it again, if need be, as he will provide for all of our needs.
