Did Noah include on his ark any animal whose name began with the letter 'x'?

Maybeyes, maybe no, Noah may have included on his ark animals whose names began with the letter 'x'. The book of Genesis didn't name any of the animals and birds on the ark. Neither did the book list any fishes or other water dwelling creatures. So there may or may not have been king crabs, who may be referred to as xiphosuran. The name comes from their scientific classification as members of the Xiphosura order.
