The Bible says that all "animals" were on the Ark (not fish)... if the Bible thinks that whales are fish and bats are birds, complain to the author, not me!

KAI: there are between 5 and 100 million species on the earth.. and since evolution never happened, they all existed during the time of the Great Flood

I don't think Polar Bears can stay in the water forever... they need to rest on land... geez!

whales, dolphins, and porpoises wouldn't need to be on an Ark.
Polar bears, otters, sea lions, and walruses wouldn't need a special tank either. All can exist out of water. Manatees and dugongs would only need to go if there were no shallow areas on the planet to graze. (I don't think there's even enough water on the planet to cover the entire globe in water.)
The likelihood of this ever happening aren't very probable since everything on the planet would be massively inbred, It's just a nice story to live by.

It's strange to think that not many people know that Whales (and the majority of other sea animals including fish) can't survive in fresh water. Rain is fresh water, this would cause all Marine animals to die. Unless the rain was salt water, which would cause all of the fresh water fish to die.

The mighty God of Noah will have no problem answering this question. It is probable that animals able to survive in the water of the flood were allowed to do so. Also since that with God anything is possible, it is possible that tanks were constructed for this purpose. You see my dear atheist, your thinking is entirely restricted by your lack of belief in God. You are thinking strictly from a man's ability to comprehend things. Gods mind is much superior to ours....

Yes, it was on deck 3 of the Ark, one deck below the aardvarks.
Haven't you ever read the Bible or Harry Potter (Noah used the invisibility cloak to keep the tank invisible)?

Likewise did Noah have a microscope to ensure adequate sexing and pairing of the approx.6 million species of microscopic animal that would have perished in a worldwide flood?

The creatures of the sea were not put in the Ark (Genesis 6:20,7:14) because they would not drown and therefore could survive in the flood.

Well I'm not sure that the sea creatures were on the ark, they swim, they could survive a flood.

sea animals had no need for the ark, they were just fine to stay in the water, i'm sure god kept a couple of each alive, don't underestimate the power of god.

Why not look it up by reading the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Sumerian saga from which this lovely little fairy tale was originally taken?
