There's no contradiction at all.
Animals came first. Then man was the last creation, followed by the more beautiful creation called Eve, cause after her there could be nothing greater created, as they were IN the very PHI Image of the LORD

Chapter 2 in no way nullifies Chapter 1,
Gen 2:18 And the LORD God said, [It is] not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
Gen 2:19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought [them] unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that [was] the name thereof.
Adam was in charge of naming the animals that were there BEFORE HIM, that was his first job before he was told to get busy and reproduce and make love with EVE.
Out of the ground the Lord God did form every beast of the fiel, that isn't a new timeline, but a given fact. All animals and us came from the ground which has been proven via chemical anaylsis.
Pity thoughwe can't talk about timelines and the crystals of the ground... Oh well maybe in time.
Next topic.... as this one isn't relevant, no controversy whatsoever.. IMO
