Because the Flood was global, we find billions of dead things buried in rock layers laid down by water all over the earth.
Noah’s sons were named Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and they are the ancestors of all people alive today.
We find fossilized sea creatures high on the tops of major mountain ranges worldwide, showing that ocean waters once covered these sites before they rose up at the end of the global Flood.
Thick sequences of rock layers in the Grand Canyon are sharply bent without breaking, demonstrating that the sediments were folded while still soft during the Flood.
Noah had a wife and three sons who also had wives; all eight people were safe aboard the Ark during the global Flood.
Fall has arrived at the Ararat Ridge Zoo! 🍂 Our keepers and animals are enjoying the cooler autumn temperatures.
As the seasons change, please note a few updates to our animal encounters and feeding schedule:
🥕 Junior’s Zoo Feeds: 11:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m. (Fridays & Saturdays)
🐾 Creature Features: 1:15 p.m. & 3:15 p.m. (Daily)
Three-dimensional sculpting technology helped ensure anatomical accuracy and allowed the Ark Encounter artists to develop custom poses. Some were partially or fully 3D-printed, like these non-mammalian synapsids modeled after Cynognathus.
A handful of dinosaur figures can be seen on the Ark, like the stegosaurs. However, not every dinosaur-looking sculpture represents a dinosaur. The figures in the third photo, for instance, depict non-dinosaurian reptiles called silesaurs.
