Many people wonder if dinosaurs were on Noah’s ark. Well, Genesis tells us that Noah took two of every kind of land-dwelling, air-breathing animal on the ark with him. Since dinosaurs meet that description, they came to Noah to go on the ark. But could they fit?

Well, the average size of a dinosaur is only the size of a buffalo. We hear a lot about the big ones but most were quite small. And, for the really big ones, Noah could’ve taken younger, smaller ones on the ark. These juveniles would eat less, take up less space, and reproduce better after the flood.

It’s no problem explaining dinosaurs on the ark.
