Animals leave Noah’s Ark after the flood, from the Bedford Hours. The Bedford Hours was written in the early 1400s, and became the property of King Henry IV. The story of the gods flooding the earth to destroy human and other life (and humanity surviving via an ark) is an ancient one; ancient Mesopotamian stories talk about a very similar flood story in which humans were slaughtered not for being sinful but for overpopulatiing the earth and becoming too loud for the gods to tolerate.{WHF} {HTE} -- source link
