Transcript
Have you ever wondered how Noah fit all the animals on the ark?
Well, Noah didn’t need all the species we have today. He needed only two of every kind of land-dwelling, air-breathing animal. “Kind” is a broader term than species, usually at about the “family” level of classification. So, Noah only needed a few thousand animals. And for the bigger animals—like some dinosaurs—Noah could’ve just taken younger, smaller ones.
The ark was massive! It had the capacity of four hundred and fifty tractor-trailers! That’s more than enough room to fit the few thousand animals—and the supplies—Noah needed on the ark.
