Kangaroos had to do it too, as well as platypuses and all sorts of snakes and birds crazy animals that are only found down there. What happened?
And another thing -- what happened to that boat?

I don't know how the animals got there. Again history is 95% supposition. There is this verse in Genesis :
Gen 10:25 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one
was Peleg;
for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name
was Joktan.
That kind of suggests that shortly after the flood there were some pretty significant seismic shifts. I've heard Creation scientists who have suggested that most of the mountain ranges we have to day were formed in the year the waters covered the earth and the immediate years after that. They even quote mathematical evidence suggesting that the erosion rates of these ranges demonstrate that.
The whereabouts of the ark is kind of a silly question. You simply don't find wooden structures lasting thousands of years. If it exists intact that in and of itself would be a miracle. I can see portions of it being salvaged as well. The work it would have taken to produce lumber from raw logs in those days would have been immense. I can't see them letting it go to waste unless they had to leave the area quickly.
