...why an arc?

If you need all that magic to keep the lions from eating the gazelles for forty days why not just grow a mountain where all the animals can live above the flood. Make a magical Doors of Durin that only Noah, and his soon-to-be incestuous ilk, can pass through to get to the mountain.

Easy-peasy, no Sahara Forest™ required.

Then again, why were the Cetacea (whales), Craniata (fishes) and Cephalopoda (Octpodes) all exempt from god's wrath? (Not to mention the bacteria and viruses.)

Have you ever seen coral and or salmon spawn? Ewweww.
