When the water erupted out of the earth it changed the planet’s atmosphere. The atmosphere before the flood was able to support extremely large animals, which today’s atmosphere is not. The animals on the Ark would have had to be young animals in order to survive the world after the flood right? They say animals grow as big as their environment will allow, so their growth would have been stunted.
Book of Jasher
Chapter 6
5 And a lioness came, with her two whelps, male and female, and the three crouched before Noah, and the two whelps rose up against the lioness and smote her, and made her flee from her place, and she went away, and they returned to their places, and crouched upon the earth before Noah.
6 And the lioness ran away, and stood in the place of the lions.
7 And Noah saw this, and wondered greatly, and he rose and took the two whelps, and brought them into the ark.
