CREA
    The "standard" creationist answer is that God, in his infinite wisdom
and mercy, cast all the animals into a deep sleep (like he did to Adam when
He created Eve) for the duration (estivation?, hibernation?, who knows?).
Noah & Sons' duties would have thus consisted of periodically waking the
livestock, feeding & watering them and disposing of accumulated wastes.
This scheme supposedly reduced what would have been a patently impossible
task to the merely improbable.  Does it work?  I don't think so -- but hey,
we're told that "with God all things are possible"  (Matthew 19:26), and
creationists (along with inerrantists) are fond of repeating this mantra
whenever confronted with those aspects of reality which fail to comform to
their expectations.
