"And God said, 'Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds - livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.' And it was so. And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good."
"Then God said, 'Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.'"
"So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them."
"And God blessed them, And God said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.' And God said, 'Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.' And it was so. And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day."
This is the Biblical account of the sixth day of the world, and what a busy day it must've been. It's the day all gaps of the creation process were filled. It's the day that God finally populated with universe's first and best zoo. The sixth day of creation is why you and I are here and why you and I are surrounded by all we are surrounded by.
The sixth day of the world was absolutely epic, and somehow, seems like it would've taken the most work. From creating every wild animal, every single bug and every piece of livestock to creating the human species, a lot went into day six; plus, day six would've been like God's Friday, and He work extra hard that day! I don't know about you, but for me, Fridays barely count as work days because the week is basically over. God didn't care though; He grinded it out all week, and then He finished just as strong, if not stronger than He started, with even more creativity and personal touch.
I also think the sixth day of creation is amazing because of the way God seemed to have the whole world prepared just for what was coming into it: animals and people. He had already provided every piece of food, every piece of shelter and every piece of clothing that we and the rest of creation might need. He didn't create humans before He created provision for us, and He didn't create plants before He created sunlight. He knew what He was doing.
The sixth day of creation had to have been the longest day of creation; I feel like God definitely put in some over-time hours knowing He was going to be creating something in His image and knowing what all that was going to do. I'm glad He did it though. I'm so glad He made us and let us be a part of His story and that now, because He created us all those years ago, we get to live forever with Him in His New Creation. What could be better?

Cliff's Note: God made a great place for us to live in; He would be a great zookeeper.
