Hibernation and Faith's rediculous idea about starving the animals into a coma would ensure that if any animals survived their time on the ark they'd quickly die once they got off of it. If the animals hibernated and consumed their stored energy thne they'd have to eat once they woke up, so it's either good-bye prey animals or starvation for the predators. The starve the animals into a coma idea is even more bullshit, how healthy are they goning to be at the end of the journey? They're either gonna be easy meat for the predators that just woke up from hibernation or they'll die when they try to be fruitful and multipy.
I think there is a valid point here that is being burried and ignored.
So, let us assume that the animal hibernated through the ordeal. What happens after they landed? It would have taken weeks for the seeds that survived the flood to germinate and grow into plants for the plant eaters to feast on. It would have taken the plant eaters at least another year to pump out babies. In the mean time, were the carnivores expected to sit there and wait while the herbivores recovered their populations?
