The thing about the meat is pretty important. Until Adam and Eve sinned, nothing had to die.   But when they do,  God is going to require a live animal for a  sacrifice, a covering for sin. ( Genesis 3:21)  He makes them coats of skins.  He sacrifices an animal to cover their sin.  Then God casts them out of the garden lest they should eat of the Tree of Life and live forever in their sinful state.  More on this later.

Genesis 1:32  "And God saw every thing that He had made, and behold, it was very good."  (Everything that he had done was perfect at this point. ) "And the evening and the morning were the sixth day."

Genesis 2:1  "Thus the heavens and the earth were finished and all the host of them." (Millions and millions of animals.  Millions and millions of stars and galaxies.)

We aren't getting new animals on the earth.  God was done.  Animals became prey after man sinned.  Animals have been going extinct (not evolving into other species) for thousands of years because we have not done the five things that God asked us to do.  He asked us to care for the fish, birds, cattle (mammals), earth, and creeping things.  The water, air, food for animals, soil, and the clean up crew of creeping things.

I am done with explaining the sequence of events after Gen.1:1  The word 'create' is used to describe three events.  The word 'let'  or 'made' is used for everything else.
