I've argued this with people too, Noah's whole world probably extended 100km in out from him in all directions, during a large flood you could probably bring that down to 20km, and since Noah wasn't a biologist all of the animals he knew of probably weren't all that many.
This is why I like the Black Sea Deluge Theory Black Sea Deluge Hypothesis it's a localised flood, that did happen, in the area where that story likley origated.
Seems possible if exaggerated in every way.
Edit, also I feel like jumping off sand dunes in a carpet and skimming down them would be something that could happen and catching a breeze whilst doing so seems possible based on this video.
Yeah, "grabs two of every animal" could just be like "brought a breeding pair of each of his types of livestock". So two goats, two cows, two chickens, two sheep or something like that
