Noah’s Ark has been represented many times by a cute little boat with animals on deck, especially elephants and giraffes. This is not at all what the Ark looked like. It was a box, a big box, with three interior decks and just one window high on the side. This box was about 450 feet long by 75 feet wide and 45 feet high. The box housed thousands of animals for over a year, along with eight humans. (See Ark in Glossary.)
