I'd consider it more like speculation. Noah had to use common sense (and logic). If the adults are too big, then take the babies.

Write back soon.

Kind: a group united by
common traits or interests
Species: a class of individuals having
common attributes and designated by a common name
Essentially the word "kind" and the word "species" are the same.
What kind of babies? Well, I'd say the "kind" where the adults were too big, or took up too much room. Who knows how many animals were there, but they all fit in the ark. I don't know how much space the babies would need, but they'd need less space than the adults. Yes I know how big the ark was, the Bible tells the dimensions.
Genesis 6:15 says that the Ark's dimensions were at least 135 meters long (300 cubits), 22.5 meters wide (50 cubits), and 13.5 meters high (30 cubits). That's about 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high. It could have been larger, because several larger-sized cubits were used. But the 45-centimeter (18-inch) cubit is long enough to show the size of the Ark.
