Two of each except humans where there were 8 humans - no one recorded how many humans came off the Ark! (Noah and his three sons and their wives went on board)

Interestingly, Genesis Chapter 7 verses 1-3 (King James Version), states 'And the Lord said unto Noah ... Of every clean beast thou shalt take thee by SEVENS, the male and his female, and of beasts that are not clean by TWO, the male and his female. Of fowls also of the air by SEVENS, the male and the female.'

One wonders how Noah managed to pair them up with an odd number like seven!
