I don’t know. We do not have any information, so we don’t know. What is only written is that he took a couple of animals and brought them into the ark. I don’t know, but it is not important if these animals were there or not. Maybe it is a question of science.
The Holy Scripture cannot give us all the answers. We should not approach the Holy Scriptures like Protestants, who seek every answer in the Holy Scripture. This is not a Catholic approach because Holy Scripture is not our only source of knowledge. The Holy Scripture was not given to us as a book of science but as God’s revelation, for our eternal salvation, souls, the eternal truth of God, eternity, and our moral life. Being a book of science was not the aim of the Holy Scripture.
Of course, it could contain some aspects of science but it is only secondary and not the main purpose and meaning of Holy Scripture. Therefore, we have to understand the meaning of Holy Scripture. I repeat, first: the eternal truth which is supernatural and not natural truth thus, it is not a book of natural science; secondly, Holy Scripture is not our only source of knowledge about the faith, the other source is tradition, the oral tradition. So, I think we have to correct our understanding of the Bible itself and avoid having this Protestant mentality.
