we dont really have many really big animals.
and why would you put fully grown animals in an ark?
wouldnt smaller younger animals be better for a trip like
that?

I'm sure it has been, but I will make a quick stab at it again. The volume of the Ark is about 1,580,000 cubic feet. Taking for size say a sheep about 3 * 4 * 1.5 feet (my top of the head estimate) 18 cubic feet, plus feed for 5 months (150 days), call that 40 cubic feet total. I think that the feed estimate is very low it should probably be a lot higher. Anyway, now we can get 38,000 sheep sized animals in there. Of course that is with them all stacked on top of each other. Then we know that there were 7 of each kind of the clean animals and 2 of each kind of the unclean and 7 of each of the fowls of the air.

Anyway that gives some kind of an estimate. It sounds a bit small for all of the many thousands of animal species that exist.
