If you are really interested and what the science on how it occured then get this BOOK.

I agree that your questions and many more require answers for both individuals who would rather it wasn't part of history along with those who know it is.
However even today we have many animals that can hibernate for months on end, so if God IS the Creator of the Universe, then preserving creatures in a vessel for a period of up to 12 months is certainly within His capabilities.
If we walk down the other road, that we and the rest of the Universe is the result of chance random processes, then we are left with problems much bigger than a sleeping herbivore, in fact they look like a hippo compared to a mustard seed.
