Is it something to do with their awkward shape and space efficiency or something?
Was the lower 2/3rds of the Ark completely full of insects?
Or was it just that humans are too self-centred to realise that animals besides inhabitants of the African savannah actually exist, and that sticking them out of the top is the only way to demonstrate their existence?
I mean... if I was a Lion, I wouldn't want to be crammed hard against the starboard side of the deck with an elephant shoved up against my backside.

Given that the people drawing these depictions never actualy saw the Ark, how would they know African animals were sticking out?
And the Bible doesn't say if the animals were babies or fully grown adults, babies would have taken a lot less room in the case of the larger animals.

The depictions I've seen that sound like your description were ones made for children to look at and play with. Obviously, it's more entertaining to a child to actually be able to SEE the animals.

It's just a depiction. Why are fast cars depicted as "babe magnets"? I've never seen any women glued to the sides of cars by magnetism.

It's just a fairy tale, like the Santy Claus. Let them have their fun.
