At the risk of displaying to to the world my in no way impressive 
knowledge of the Bible (I _could_ go home and check first, but then I'd 
have to wait until tomorrow to post this), I think Noah actually DID take 
more than one pair from some of the species, didn't he? If that's true, 
and nothing further is mentioned, then we still don't know for sure 
whether whatever-it-is-that-Donald-and-Daisy-are (WIITDADA) = ducks ;)
     
In any case I _do_ remember that there were eight humans on the Ark, which 
means that the WIITDADA could even be humans! Then Donald would have to be 
one of Noah's three sons, and Daisy his wife.

I may be stretching the significance of the gag here :)
