in fact, how did they even get there? more importantly though, why didn't they leave behind any descendants in any of the other continents?
the xenarthrans (sloths, armadillos, and ant eaters) are also problematic in that they are limited to the americas. (in all fairness though, a xenarthran fossil was found in the messel shales in germany.) still though, if they came off of noah's arc, shouldn't we expect to see moe fossils in europe, asia, or africa?
also, most people know little of the extinct mammalian clade, Meridiungulata, but they're entirely restricted to south america too.
how can creationists who believe in the flood justify these examples of geographic isolation on continents that are quite far away from where noah's arc supposedly landed?
