I guess I have to go look again but nothing I remember from Genesis says that Noah’s Ark is a boat. The Ark of the covenant that Moses had was not a boat. Maybe something got lost in translation? There is no way that Noah had wood working tools sufficient or capable of building a seaworthy boat hull over 400 ft long. I tend to believe this Ark was a sturdy storage facility on high ground. And the notion that there are two dead giraffes somewhere near My Ararat is a bit of a stretch. A lot of stuff got left out of that story.

The Ark Depot?

Noah’s Ark was a ‘tevah’. The Ark of the Covenant is an ‘aron’. Completely different words. Lost in translation indeed!

2 dead giraffes near the ark means no giraffes.

An ark is a chest, a box. A boat or a refrigerator can fit that word.
