Noah didn’t have time to go to North America to collect the animals that were there, but there was a pair of grizzly bears who had heard about Noah. They headed toward the east coast where they came across a convoy of North American animals, including caribou and beavers. And Noah didn't get to South America, but a couple of maverick armadillos had sensed a flood was coming. They found an abandoned boat and made off across the Atlantic Ocean. They used the stars to chart their way. Clever armadillos.

And of course, Noah couldn’t get to Australia either. But, fortunately, a pair of kangaroos and koala bears had learned how to make boats and knew how to paddle. They made their way across the sea to Papua New Guinea where they asked directions to where Noah was. And in this way all the animals made it to the ark.
