Contrary to popular belief animals did not enter the ark in '2 by 2', as the old songs go. Genesis 7:1-3 says: 1 The LORD then said to Noah, "Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation. 2 Take with you seven of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and two of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, 3 and also seven of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth.

According to The Bible, the animals entered the Ark in pairs, following the instructions given by God to Noah. They entered in an orderly manner, with each species entering according to God's command.

Into what did Noah march a pair of each of the world's animals?

That's what The Book said. noah only took two of each animal, unless it was a clean animal. clean animals were used for sacrifices and in worship so noah took more of those animals. I'm not positive but i think he took seven of each clean animal.


How many elephants did Moses bring into the Ark?

How big would the Ark have to be to carry two of every animal?

To carry two of every animal, the Ark would need to be quite large. Assuming each pair of animals and their food and water requirements would take up about 2 cubic meters, the Ark would need to be at least 25,600 square meters in size. This is roughly equivalent to the size of around 470 standard American boxcars or over 3 football fields.


What animal missed the ark and no longer exists?

We can either answer this from the Bible, from speculation or, finally, from science and history.From the Bible, we know God's intention because he clearly instructed Noah to take every kind of animal onto the Ark, and we know that Noah did exactly as told. The Bible says (Genesis 7:8-9) that two of every clean beast, two of every unclean beast and of everything that creepeth on the earth went into the Ark. There is no room in this passage for any animals not to do so.Some have speculated that the unicorn missed the ark and no longer exists, although in fact it is an entirely mythical animal.From a historical and scientific perspective, there never was a great flood that covered the entire world, causing the extinction of all animals that did not go onto the mythical Ark. If there was no biblical Flood, then there was no Ark and no animal that missed the Ark.

How did noah's animals enter the ark?

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."
