Who survive the great flood of Gilgamesh?

Ea, a god, warned Utnapishtim of the flood. He told him to build a large ark and to fill it with every kind of animal, male and female. Utnapishtim, his family, and the animals remained on the boat until the flood was over. -Correction. They were warned, but warned to build a boat. The ark was built in the story of Noah's Ark. Also, only he, Utnapishism, and his wife were allowed to board the boat. No one else had entered. Don't worry, I'm not guessing this, this came straight out of a text book, so the information provided is pretty accurate. :)
