Maybe the whole world didn't flood, after all.

I think Bible says that Noah lived to be 732 or something and he had the ark measured in cubits. Maybe you should read that part of the Bible for yourself, since any answer given here won't elucidate anything.
I happen to live where an ice-age lake gave way and formed much of the geology of the Northwest, but somehow, I don't think you care about geology, history or floods. There have been huge regional floods. The climate always changes .
When there are floods, large or small, people take what is useful to people. Remember the recent cattle strandings in Colorado and the hay being flown in? If Noah made an ark, he would have taken domesticated animals unless the wild ones cued up in pairs and acted like domestic animals.
No one has ever taken millions of animals anywhere, unless you count bacteria as animals, then, heck, we're all packing millions of animals on our person all the time.

Take into account that they would only need to put land animals inside the ark, for sea creatures don't need a haven and the birds could just perch themselves atop the ark. Aside from that, the ark was huge, I think it measured somewhere around 500+ feet and 50 feet wide or more. Plus the animal population might have been much lower due to small adaptations since then. For instance he did not need to bring every single species of snake, just one species of snakes might have produced the other species through adaptation.

How did he mange to classify and identify all of them? Thats a much bigger task that is not completed to this day.
I think he build a boat. Got on it with a few animals to get away from all the people making fun of him for being a religious nut.

Noah collected stem cells from all the animals and kept them growing in little petri dishes. When the floodwaters receded, he resurrected them.

God gave him the wood to use and the dimensions, it took generations to build. In those days people lived for hundreds of years

There are way too many species all across the entire earth. Back then they also didn't know about the American continents and its just fairy tale crap.

He didn't ...On his cruise ship there was only himself, wife 3 sons, their wives and a couple aardvarks. The variety of animals we have today, evolved - in alphabetical order - from those aardvarks.
