The 144,000 are mentioned twice in the book of Revelation and these are events about to happen. The bible says that these will be virgin men jews that will be given specific assignments to profess Christ's name throughout the earth and when they are completed - they will go to heaven. All throughout the New Testiment - Christ talks about anyone wanting to receive salvation and how to receive it.
Quandering about what and how many animals were on the ark is not as important as saving souls.
