Ducth contractor Johan Huibers built this replica of the Noah's Ark in the Netherlands. Approximately to scale the replica is 1/2 the length and 1/3 the width of the Biblical dimensions. Life size models of giraffe, elephants, lions, crocodiles, zebras and other animals greet visitors as they arrive in the main hold.

The type of wood used in the construction of the original ark is still a subject of debate among Biblical scholars.
Of course, it's only a replica of the biblical Ark, built by Dutch creationist Johan Huibers as a testament to his faith in the literal truth of the Bible.

Johan got the idea to build the ark after having a dream about the Netherlands being flooded. He plans to set sail in September and travel to other parts of the country and eventually to major cities in Belgium and Germany.
