Interesting question. I thought it said as much in Gen 1:24-25 or Gen 2:19, but a quick scan suggests the first reference to male and female animals is in the Ark arc.
It is possible Gen 2:21 could be interpreted to mean God did the rib thing for all male animals, but I think that’d be an unusual extrapolation. Those verses appear only to be talking about Adam. I think male and female animals were created together in Gen 1:24-25, but I can’t point to any specific words that support that.
