I believe that the Ark was real. The account of it is in the Bible. I believe the Bible to be the true word of God.
I do not believe that the flood was a global one. The point of the flood was to destroy wicked humans, not to wipe out the earth's flora and fauna and ecologial systems. I don't believe the language of the Bible is always literal, I believe the flood occurred only in the then-known world.
Which animals would populate the earth? Well, all the ones that God had Noah put in the ark. We are not told exactly what they were, except that they were birds, animals and creeping things of every sort/kind. 7 pairs each of clean animals (male & female), 2 pairs each of unclean animals (male & female), 7 pairs each of birds (male & female); Genesis 7:2-3.
God was orchestrating all this and I don't believe that the animals would have behaved themselves in the ark, only for the carnivores to start eating up the herbivores as soon as they came out of the ark. They were to be fruitful and multiply...... I'm sure it was no major feat for our Creator to ensure that happened.
I believe that the dinosaurs had already been extinct for millions of years at the time of the Great Flood. (I am not a Young Earth Creationist, nor an Evolutionist. I believe the bible and believe that the earth, etc. is as old as the scientists say it is.)
