How Many Animals Were on the Ark

Tradition states that the animals went into the ark 2 by 2.  Tradition says that there were only 2 animals of every species that went on to the ark.  Tradition is not all that accurate.

In reality, although the animals went on to the ark 2 by 2, some species only had 2 of each, while others had 7 of each kind.  If an animal was unclean (religiously speaking), the species was limited to 2, but if the animal was clean, there were 7 of each kind, meaning that the clean animals went 2 by 2 by 2 by 1.
