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.
Lots of animals and a few humans. That is, if the ark ever existed; most cultures, including Native Americans, have a flood myth.
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.
Moses brought none at all. When Noah saw that, he said "This will never do!", and brought in two elephants.
AnswerThe dimensions of the ark mentioned in the Bible were more than adequate to hold all the animals stated. The area of the ark was huge, unlike many depictions in books, and well able to hold representatives of all the animals. Additionally, the Bible only mentions that two or seven pairs of each 'kind' entered the ark, not all of the animals living nor all of the species alive at the time which is a common misunderstanding. Some say the Biblical word used - kind - is close to our term 'genus'. Our present day species have developed from the ark's inhabitants. Hence, the ark's dimensions described in the Bible were more than adequate to hold the pairs of animals as mentioned with a minimum internal volume of over 1,500,000 cubic feet.AnswerTo believe the previous answer, you must believe in evolution. If evolution happened (happens), then you'll have to accept that the ark story is a myth.
Well, honey, the dodo bird is the life of the party that missed the ark and is now extinct. They were too busy strutting their stuff and not paying attention to Noah's guest list. So, now we just have to admire their fabulousness from history books.
The bible does not say so but it says they entered in pairs.
There were pairs (male and female) of either two or seven of each kind on the ark. The Bible says they entered the ark in twos. Many aquatic animals would not have needed to enter the ark at all.

My guess would be either the lion (as king of all animals) or the ox (as king of domestic animals).
In the Biblical story of Noah's Ark, the last animal to enter the ark is not specifically mentioned. It is stated that two of every kind of animal, male and female, were brought onto the ark, along with Noah and his family. The animals entered the ark in pairs, and after a period of 40 days and 40 nights of rain, the ark finally came to rest on the mountains of Ararat. After the flood waters receded, Noah and his family released the animals back into the world to repopulate the earth.
No animals died on Noah's Ark.
Ark - The Animals album - was created in 1983-08.
An ark unit is thought to be a pair. Such as most animals on the ark.
the bible says every animal hopped on board but i assume that the fish and swimming animals didn't need to.
God put where to go in there minds and they went to the ark and knew what to do
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."
Order of the Golden Ark was created in 1971.
