you will love this. many yecs believe that there weren't zebras, horses, donkeys, etc, just the general kind "horse like kind". after the flood, each kind diversified into species.
almost like evolution. but there is no such thing as evolution of course.
Zebras look like horses, so some believe that all horse like animals are a variety of the same kind. However, we are not sure that the zebra is the same kind as a horse. But if it is, then that would mean that not every variety of these kind of animals would need to be on the ark, just as not every variety of finches must be on the ark.
We believe that natural selective breeding can take place just like man-made selective breeding. Therefore, there would be no need for all the varieties (species) of every kind of animals that breath air to be placed on the ark. This does not mean we think one kind of animal evolved into another kind. It only means that one kind of animal can reproduce varieties (species) within the same kind.
