Load them up on the wooden ship and set out to sea for a year.
Let's not forget that the first month plus of this year is during the worst storm conditions any man has ever seen. We are talking about the storm of storms, and it seems to me, this ship's configuration would be more like a cork, bobbing up and down. In these conditions, even if the ship survived, wouldn't everything inside it be beat to death? Like tumbling down a endless hill inside a big wooden barrel?

.... that may qualify him to raise chickens or live stock, but certainly not the zoological/bilogical knowledge to keep, say, a giant panda alive for a year in a stuffy wooden boat full of other animals.
Not to mention the fact that there is a severe shortage of man hours to care for the proposed 2,000 animals. Only 8 people on the boat with dietary needs, environmental conditions, and litterally tons of manure to be removed daily. Wouldn't the levels of ammonia in all the urine being expelled reach toxic levels very quickly in a sealed environment? This is just a guess on my part.

Do you know how hard it is to get certain animals to breed in a zoo, let alone in the ocean!?
And there is the problem of providing conditions favorable for the production of healthy offspring. It's not enough to huddle the newborns into a crate and stick them in a corner of the ship.
- Babelfish
The argument goes something like this: "I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."
"But," says Man, "the Babelfish is a dead giveaway isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED."
"Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.
"Oh, that was easy," says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets killed on the next zebra crossing.
