How many animals on Noah's ark and how much space did each have?
"In their book, The Genesis Flood, Doctors Morris and Whitcomb say that only 35,000 individual animals needed to go on the ark. John Woodmorappe, the author of Noah's Ark: A Feasibility Study, believes that an even smaller number of animals would have been transported upon the ark. Woodmorappe explains that the word "specie" is not equivalent to the "created kinds" of the Genesis account, so as few as 2,000 animals may have been required on the ark.
ChristianAnswers.net explains that as many as 50,000 animals (including creatures that may now be extinct) could have fit on board the ark. These would not have needed to be the largest or even adult specimens."

Here's the thing. The Ark's loadmaster was reasonably skilled and knowledgeable. Elephants go in the bottom for ballast. Giraffes get deck space because their necks can double as lookout masts. Hyenas go in the bilge because of the sound they make when they f**. Monkeys are kept away from the crew quarters because they like to throw feces. Dogs are kept away from the monkeys because they like to eat feces. Oh, well, then why not just let the dogs clean up then.
Where it got really dicey is the chickens. One of the prophets told Noah that way out, far forward in the future, in order for those makers of law to lay claim to the validity of the necessity to keep chickens cage free, THE ORIGINAL CHICKENS CAN NOT BE KEPT IN A CAGE!!
That's right. So there is exactly ONE OF TWO POSSIBILITIES:
1. Chickens were the only animals not to be kept in a cage aboard the Ark.
2. The original chickens were in fact caged. Okay PETA. Okay FDA. Explain that one huh.
Do you want to include the ones not known about at the time or not?
How many wallabies? Turkeys? Opossum?
Well I suspect the wallabies, turkeys and possums were known about and included but you ask a very good question. What animals don't we have because nobody knew about them and they weren't included? Perhaps this is why the dinosours became extinct? Maybe they were too unruly to be herded aboard the ark? Perhaps the other animals were at risk from being eaten by them? Maybe Noah was setting his descendants up for future stock in Jurassic Park movies? We'll never know.
Then the fish. Obviously, you aren't going to bring fish aboard. They can live in water. But, what about marine mammals? Otters? Sea lions? Those don't technically need an Ark, but psychologically, wouldn't they feel left out? Excluded?
When can we expect the end of the world to occur? Want to have affairs in order.
I would suggest that you set up your Ashley Madison account, right now, as I believe they have fixed the security breach, and you really don't need to wait for the end of the world in order to have affairs.
