#QUESTION: Was the ark big enough for all the animals? The ark could have easily accommodated 2000 animals (which is an estmate, some suggest much less), indeed it could have comfortably accommodated ten times that number. Remember many animals are quite small, for example, looking at mammals, one writer notes "concervative estimates [have some] 290 speciels of land mamals larger than sheep and about 1, 350 smaller than rats, the ark could easily have easily accomodated a pair of all these animals" -- The Deluge Story in Stone by BC Nelson P. 156; The Flood in the Light of the Bible, Geology, and Archaeology, by A M Rehwinkel p 69QUESTION: How big was the Ark? The size of the ark was 300 cubits long , 50 cubits wide and 30 cubits high. Conservatively calculating the cubit as 44.5 cm the ark measured 133.5 by 22.3m by 13.4m this gave the ark approx. 400, 000 cu meters (1, 400, 000 cu Ft). in gross volume. With an estmated displacement nearly equal to that of the might 883 ft of the Titanic*, it was less than half the length of the ocean liner Queen Elizabeth. Internally strengthened by adding two floors, the three decks thus provided gave a total of about 8,900 sq m (96,000 sq ft) of space. * NOTE: There were 2228 people on board of the Titanic (plus food, supplies ect)One of the sites earlier mentioned states: #QUESTION: Was the ark big enough for all the animals? Absolutely! Estimates, based on a breakdown of the groups along the lines provided by the Encylopedia Americana (1077 Vol 1 pp 859 - 873) have some 5, 000 mamals (including whales and propoises which of course would have remained outside the ark) or according some more concervative estimates of 290 speciels of land mamals larger than sheep and about 1, 350 small than rats, the ark could easily have easily accomodated a pair of all these animals (The Deluge Story in Stone by BC Nelson P. 156; The Flood in the Light of the Bible, Geology, and Archaeology, by A M Rehwinkel p 69). It's rectangular shape meant it contained about one third more storage space than ships of conventional (hull shaped) design "Assuming the average animal to be about the size of a sheep and using a railroad car for comparison, we note that the average double-deck stock car can accommodate 240 sheep. Thus, three trains hauling 69 cars each would have ample space to carry ... 50,000 animals, filling only 37percent of the ark. This would leave an additional 361 cars or enough to make 5 trains of 72 cars each to carry all of the food and baggage plus Noah's family of eight people." www1.cbn.com/biblestudy/what-did-noah%27s-ark-look-like%3F QUESTION: Could they have coped with all the poop? Certainly. For a comparison, London Zoo has about 750 species of animals and 75 personnel to look after the approx 7 tons of poop a day. That works out to about 200 lbs a day of poop for each person. Noah and his family would have had only about half the amount of species (bigger than a sheep - see above). (To put things in perspective, London Zoo (now Whipsnade Wild Park) has about Ten elephants; according to spokesmen from South Carolina's Riverbanks zoo, their four elephants produce 75% of their poop) Noah would have had only two of each kind; some of which may not have been fully grown. So we also take into account that Noah would have had many less individual animals than say, London Zoo, a fair estimate would be Noah and his family would have had to deal with about 2 tons a day, probably less. That's about 4000lbs of poop a day a day. That sounds like a lot but it would have only meant that each person would have had to deal with about 350lbs a day. If a little thought was put into the design of the boat (for example the possiblility of slanting the floors up and hosing them down and out an opening - the ark had windows/openings) then dealing with the poop was more than possible. source now-here-this.timeout.com/2014/09/06/what-happens-to-all-the-poo-at-london-zoo/
