Nope. Not if 98% of all birds, insects, and reptiles are in egg form, and 95% of all mammals are in baby form. Not to mention there are more unclean animals than clean animals.
This would mean no food needed for the insects birds or reptiles stored as eggs. And if the majority of the mammals are drinking milk then all one would need is lots of hay for the dairy animals.
Maybe you haven't put it together yet but this whole putting eggs on the ark and baby mammals instead of full size adults is what makes it all work, as again it reduces the space needed to house the animals, the variety/quantity of food needed, any specialized environment requirement they may have or may create, and any threats from predatory or parasitic passengers on the ark.
“Nope. Not if 98% of all birds, insects, and reptiles are in egg form,”
How many eggs stay unhatched for…. How many days was the ark drifting around?
300 plus day?
Let’s hear more majik to explain it
Chapter and verse of gathering eggs please?
where you get 300? do you have book chapter and verse to support this number?
Maybe you oughta read and familiarize yourself with the story starting in gen 6 before you start trying to represent it.
