Science as far as I know of hasn't got to that yet but they will soon.
Science has just proved how Moses parted the Red sea then closed it on the Egyptians pursuing him, that really happened and it's interesting how it was done.
Maybe they'll study how Noah managed to get all the animals on the Ark next.

Well look at it like this. It seems hard to believe but all these different breeds of dogs, cows and some other stuff was not present. And some animals (fish and stuff) were ok without the ark. I think all the different breeds of animals were after that. Animals were very pure in their bloodline. So that cuts the number way back from what we have today. Some could go into a sort of hibernation state which helped with management. Hope some of this helps, Mike

Well, it is believed that anywhere between 3 million to 100 million species of animals existed during Noah's time. So for him to have taken 2 of each animal onto a boat, the boat would have had to have been big enough to carry between 6 million and 200 million animals... think about that for a second, then tell me you still believe that the fable of Noah's Ark actually happened. It is nothing but malarkey. Sorry.

Did you know Noah lived to be 900 years old? He also got drunk and had gay sex with his son Ham or Turkey... or whoever...
Sadly Science can not find proof that a flood ever covered the entire earth.... also they have found human and Neanderthal remains dating early BC but none 900 years old or even close...
But to answer your question.... 2 of the animals that he did not have time to give a bath and 7 of the ones that were clean....
But did the Lions eat the Zebras? Did the mouse scare the elephant and that would have raised a ruckus!!

Two of each (male and female) except the sacred animals and many birds. This would be from each species. The Torah also states that the animals came to him. I would guess that they were very young animals, since even though the thing was huge there were many more species than we have today. He even took 'creeping things' which is insects. I'm not sure how one would figure out how many animals exactly that was.

Good question. Should make people stop and think about the TOTAL load on the Ark rather than just "2 of each". I, personally, have NO idea, but would be interested in knowing just what the total was. Good luck. Pops

No one can know for sure. He took two of each unclean animal and seven of the clean animals (to use as sacrifices). Who knows exactly how many species were on earth then?

It's kind of like that " how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop" The world may never know.
