For millennia, the story of Noah’s Ark has captured human imagination. It is not merely a tale of divine salvation, but is seen as a profound reflection on life, faith, and our place in the natural world. But while the brief biblical account describes Noah saving pairs of animals from a catastrophic flood, there is one thing it does not account for. Indeed, generations of artists, theologians, and scientists have tried to understand which animals could have possibly boarded the ship.
