It sort of depends on how you interpret the text. The first bit is rather tricky. I'll quite the NIV translation:
quote:
When the LORD God made the earth and the heavens - and no shrub of the field had yet appeared on the earth and no plant of the field had yet sprung up, for the LORD God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no man to work the ground, but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground - the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
I guess you can stretch it to state that the bit about streams indicates also the creation of all animals. But that would be quite a bit of a stretch. If you take it litterally, it does state that God made man directly after the earth was watered.
