Yep, and Noah fitted all those beasties (* in twos and in sevens) and their months of food onto that "ark".
Nonsense. Impossible.
Ancient tribal Hebrews stole the myth from the Summerians after the Tigress and the Euphrates had experienced a major flood - and had every reason to believe that all animals would fit -
because they were clearly unaware of the existence of kangaroos and polar bears and emus and alpacas and the vast majority of the world's wildlife.
Genesis 7:2-3 and Genesis 6:19-20
Some might think this is off-topic - but if we cannot believe the Noah story, why should we accept Adam and Eve ?

- Two (Genesis 6:19-20) "And of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every kind into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female.
- Of the birds after their kind, and of the animals after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every kind will come to you to keep them alive."
- Seven (Genesis 7:2-3) "You shall take with you of every clean animal by sevens, a male and his female; and of the animals that are not clean two, a male and his female;
- also of the birds of the sky, by sevens, male and female, to keep offspring alive on the face of all the earth."
- Noah allegedly entered the ark in the 600th year of his life, on the 17th day of the 2nd month (Genesis 7:11-13).Noah left the ark on the 27th day of the 2nd month of the following year (Genesis 8:14-15).
- Therefore, assuming a lunar calendar of 360 days, Noah was on the ark for approximately 370 days.
Can you imagine how much feed all those elephants and bears and wolves and wombats and birds and insects could eat in that time ?
And the vast diversity of just what they'd eat ??
