Kangaroos crossing India

Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.
Genesis 8:17
 
"Kangaroos are one of Australia’s most iconic animals. Recently
discovered pictographs (rock art) could help to complete the history of how the marsupials got there. Dr Jinu Koshy, an archaeologist from the University of Madras, has found what he believes to be the biggest rock art complex in India. Located in Andhra Pradesh province, one of the rock shelters features images of boar, deer, cows, people, and symbols. 
Koshy believes the occupants, drawing everyday events and creatures, lived towards the end of the Ice Age, which secularists claim was about 12,000 years ago. He also identified “some figures that resembled creatures that have never before been sighted in Indian rock art finds—drawings that looked like erect-standing, pouch-bearing kangaroos.”
The location of the seeming ‘roo rock art’ fits well with Biblical history. After animals exited Noah’s Ark around 4,500 years ago
they gradually dispersed across the world from the mountains of Ararat. The Ice Age caused by the Flood lasted for more than half a millennium after it, and all agree that the massive glaciation must have dramatically lowered sea levels, exposing land bridges.
The route could easily have involved this region of India, and was mostly over dry land. The few remaining water barriers may have been crossed by rafting on vegetation mats torn off in storms, or via the animals’ strong swimming abilities. " CMI
