Sure it would be a problem. Even if the land masses were connected it would still be a massive journey to collect different species. They wouldn't all live in the same place. Different species require different climates, habitats, food sources, etc.
They wouldn't all be sitting there on Noah's doorstep.

Have you noticed the ages of people in the Bible? Pre-flood almost everyone lived 500+ years, then after the flood the age began to drop off quit rapidly until it reached about 75-100 years.

Have you seen the dimensions of Noah's ark ?
Noah's Ark was taller than a 3-story building and had a deck area the size of 36 lawn tennis courts. Its length was 300 cubits (450 feet, or 135 meters); its width was 50 cubits (75 feet, or 22.5 meters); it had three stories and its height was 30 cubits (45 feet, or 13.5 meters).
How do you think he did for make it only in 7 days ?

[Leveller - The The animals were most likely lead by God's Spirit to the Ark. Many of the specific niche adaptations we see in todays animals would have been a post flood phenomenon as pre-flood environments were likely a lot more uniform. Which means animals wouldn't have had problems surviving their journeys to the ark. (I think someone mentions this later somewhere.)
The salt/fresh water is probably also a post-diluvian adaptation. You will find that many fish from those environments can happily survive in the other also. Those that can not probably lost that ability as they were subject to more extreme environmental pressures.
A world wide flood leaving no signature? What about the vast layer of global chalk deposits? Or the grand canyon? I think you should be looking for something a little larger than evidence of a small local flood... if indeed you are looking for any evidence at all.
The epic of Gilgamesh doesn't sound like the original story to me. Last time I checked, Engineers didn't build boats shaped like cubes for a reason.
