Therefore a flood that involved much of the middle east would certainly kill thousands if not millions and would put much of the wildlife in the area in jeopardy.
I think the problem you guys are having is you are trying to argue literal Bible references with people who are non-literalists. Barking up the wrong tree, so to speak.

any flood in Mesopotamia would be imposable to result in putting a ark on top of mt ararat or any other mountian
now for a major local flood the black sea flood is closer but that never got near to the base of mt ararat let alone the top and was 8000 years before the bible date
