I know this sounds stupid but I was reading an article that stated that Noah "knew" to gather only the animals which were considered "clean" (kosher) onto the Ark.

The Bible teaches that Noah took both clean and unclean animals. 7 pair of clean, 1 pair of unclean.

Peace!
The story of Noah, and all the stories in Genesis 1-11, are Near Eastern myths picked up by Jewish writers after the exile. They are parables. Look for the theological message when you read them. The Bible should be read in the same level it was written - spiritual.
There are many stories in the Bible which are not meant as teaching. They are there for geographical, cultural, literary and other reasons. The important thing is the revelation.

there have been 2 memories that were clumsily merged into one. between the memories got here from the priestly classification which promoted the concept that the genuine priesthood of God did not start up till Aaron. Their tale in touch in reality one pair of each animal. the different tale, instructed by a collection that did not tie the priestly custom to a particular man or woman, reported that seven pairs of unpolluted animals were delivered with a view to have adequate for sacrifices. study the tale heavily. you'll discover many extra examples that make it sparkling 2 separate memories were only merged into one without replacing conflicting information.

You forgot Chickens. The little food source.
The Pigs and snakes survived cause they are smartski. ok. i'll explain
Kangaroos hid snakes in their pouches
Pigs snuck in under hippos.
umm
Noah sneezed and more snakes snuck on board then the chickens flew in through a window cause Herman the giraffe opened it because a well positioned pig farted.
Or the Ark story is just a story.
One of them, there.

After that Jehovah said to Noah: “Go, you and all your household, into the ark, because you are the one I have seen to be righteous before me among this generation. 2 Of every clean beast you must take to yourself by sevens, the sire and its mate; and of every beast that is not clean just two, the sire and its mate; 3 also of the flying creatures of the heavens by sevens, male and female, to preserve offspring alive on the surface of the entire earth. -Genesis 7:1-3
All animals were gathered per Scriptural reference here.

This happened because the Torah is what happened when monotheists attempted to fuse Egyptian and Babylonian myths together with a dash of monotheism.
