There were only eight members of Noah’s family, and as the animals started arriving by the thousands, Noah could see that just providing the different types of food was going to be a monumental task. He told one of his sons to go around and ask all the animals what they ate and make up a list. Thankfully the animals with specialized diets brought supplies with them. For example, the koala bears brought a fresh supply of eucalyptus leaves in a Tupperware container, and the pandas brought a huge stash of bamboo. Noah also needed tons of fresh meat for the lions, tigers, crocodiles, etc. It took a few days just to pack enough meat into the freezer.

Finally, everything was ready to go and God told Noah, who was now 600 years old, to get the animals and his family into the ark and shut the door. Then the rain came.
