At the time of the flood, all the present kinds of animals and the now extinct animals, such as the dinosaurs, were alive. A high estimate  of the different kinds of  the animals on the ark is from 15000 to 16000. The largest order of the land mamals includes beavers, mice porcupines, rats, squirrles, and other gnawing animals, and the average size of ythe land mammals is about the size of a common cat. If each mammal was allowed an average of five square feet of living space, all the land mammals could have easily lived on two thirds of a deck of the ark. The remaining third of the deck was sufficient for the birds, reptiles, and insects. That left two other decks for Noah and his family.  What percent of the ark were the land mammals given to live on? Find the answer to the nearest whole percent.
