Lots more than 2 per species. He needed to feed the carnivores, that is :)
There was a small garden in the rear section of the ship for the
herbivores.

You know, before the flood, the duckirott and papris where the common farm
animals, much better than the pig.  But, Noah only took 2 of each with
him, and staying on a boat for all that time made him very hungry.
