Noah took clean and unclean animals because God told him to, and Noah had strong faith in God(Genesis 6:9 + 7:2). Noah used the 'clean' animals for the purpose of sacrifice to God(Genesis 8:20) (Leviticus 1:10)(Leviticus 1:14)(Leviticus 17:11)
Moses didn't take any animals on the ark, Noah did.
According to Genesis 7:2-3 in the Bible, God told Noah to take seven pairs of two (the two being a male and a female) of every clean animal (those that were acceptable for food and for sacrifice) and just one pair (male and female) of all other animals to keep their kind alive on he earth.
A:Genesis 6:19 says that God told Noah to take two of every living, while 7:2 says to take seven of every clean thing and two of every unclean thing, and then 7:5 says that Noah did as God told him. So, one way or the other, he took every animal on the Ark. He did not take the unicorn onto the Ark, but the unicorn belongs to an entirely different legend and we should not concern with it in relation to Noah's Ark.

The offering of animals as burnt sacrifices after the flood was not related to the preservation of species. It was a religious practice of gratitude and worship towards God, which was common in many ancient cultures. The purpose of the ark was to save Noah, his family, and the animals from the flood, and the act of offering animals as sacrifices was a separate spiritual practice.
It is still not fully clean.
Nothing! Critics like to misrepresent the references to by two's meaning a male and female in each pair and the reference to specifics which tells us there were 7 pairs of each clean beast and 2 of each unclean beast
There was enough room as Noah only had to take the air breathing creatures of their 'kind' which would limit the number drastically. According to John Woodmorappe (Noah's Ark: A Feasibility Study, 1996, p. 7), the total of the animals that Noah would have needed in the ark to meet the biblical requirements would number between 2,000 and 16,000-not in the hundreds of thousands as many might suppose.
AnswerThis is one of the great paradoxes of the story of Noah's Ark. Not only would noah have had to provide food for all the animals on his ark, both herbivore and carnivore, but he would have had to continue providing for them until sufficient food grew to meet he requirements of the animals and their offspring.Some animals had unique dietary requirements that could not be met in the Near East. For example, Australian koals can only eat the leaves of certain eucalyptus trees, so Noah would have had to identify suitable species of tree, know how much food was needed, take it to the Near east and keep it fresh until the flood abated. He would then have had to plant and nurture the trees again in just the right locations for the koalas.In summary, we mortals can not logically explain how Noah solved all these problems, and kept the animals alive and reproducing for so long.
The account in the book of Genesis (roughly chapters 6-8) do not mention anything about how the animals entered the ark. It does say that there was a single door to the ark (Genesis 6:16), but how big that door was is not specified. Tradition says the animals entered "two by two." Tradition also forgets to note that Noah was told to bring in 7 of each type of clean animal, not just the standard "one pair of each."
Genesis Ch 7 (King James Version) either 7, 14 or 21And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. 2Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.3Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.4For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.5And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.6And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.7And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.8Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,9There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
