The spiritual radiance of the Messianic Era rested within Noah's ark. The carnivorous animals ate the same plant fodder as the herbivorous animals, just as it will be in the Messianic Era, as described by Isaiah 11:6-7: "The wolf will dwell with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the young goat, ... the lion shall eat straw like the ox."
This is why Noah had to be commanded to bring out the animals from the ark. They didn't want to leave this higher spiritual level: "Every living thing that is with you of all flesh, of fowl, and of animals and of all the creeping things that creep on the earth, bring out with you..." (Genesis 8:17).
