The size of the ark was given in precise detail in the Bible. Rough calculations tell me that there could easlily have been 180 ( 3 x 2 x 30 ) stalls of 15ft by 30ft to accomodate larger animals, which is bigger than most living rooms in a modern house. Enough room for quite a few large animal pairs.
Right, but is that number enough? How many species of land animals with the size of a horse or larger are there? We also must account for many, many more smaller animals. And don't forget food for all these animals - or do you want to invoke magical hibernation to solve that little problem?
