They saw a Grizzly Bear. They spelled both words wrong. They saw American Bison. They also saw stuff like Prarie Dogs, Pronghorn Antalope, and cyotes. No Americans had ever seen these animals.

Lewis and Clark descovered 15 animals. One is the Grizzly Bear. Another is the Prairie Dog. How do you think Lewis and Clark came up with all of those names? Another is the American Bison. I like the Cyote and the Weastern Meadalark.

Luwis and Clark saw a lot of animals they even saw a grizzly bear. They also discovered the prairi Dog. The most interesting thing that i thought they saw was the mountain goat becouse it climbs mountains.Luwis and Clark also saw a lot of birds like the parit.I still think how scared i woould be if i actualy saw a Grizzly Bear.I would probibly try to find a near by cave ore a big rock to hide behind. Thats what kind of animals they saw.

One of the animals are the praire dogs. They called the praire dogs 'little toy dogs'. Another animal is the coyote. They called it the 'praire wolf'. The next animal is the badger. They say that the badger resembles the beaver and it does. The last animal is the western meadowlark. The western meadowlark much resmbles the yellow breast. The are very interesting.

The first animal that Lewis and Clark disovered that I'm going to tell you is a bird called the Western Tanager it was first discover in June 6, 1806 in Idaho County, Idaho. I would think this bird is known for is beutiful colors because its wings are black its chest, back and half of its head is yellow and the other half of the head is red and its beak is gray. These birds are also commonly found in western part of the united states. This bird is also about 7 inches long and it eats insects and fruits. The second animal I'm going to tell you about is the badger the badger was found on Febuary 6, 1804 at Camp Dubois Lewis called the badger the barking dog of the prarie. The badger is commonly found in grassland or prarie habitats. The badger is also known for digging and it lays about 1-5 eggs and is apart of the Mustelidae whicch also incudes ferrets,weasels, and wolverines it grows up to around 20-30 inches and 15 to 25 pounds. The third animal I'm going to tell you about is the Elk the elk was first discovered in December 2, 1805 at the mouth of the Columbia River. The elk ways about 1,000 pounds and lookes simuliar to the moose. elk are commonly found in the Rocky Mountains and forests of Canada and the USA. Elk normally eat a larrge amount of gress, leaves, and other vegitation the elk are also affected when forests for farmland are cut down. The fourth animal I'm going to tell you about the Mountain Lion the mountain lion was first discovered on May 16, 1805 the mountain lion is sometimes called the puma or Cougar. The mountain lion usally eats deer, wapiti (elk), mountain goats, bighorn sheep, hares and even rodents. They can also weigh up to 150 pounds and there tail 8 feet long! Mountain Lions are commonly found in California. Mountain Lions are usally solitary and nocturnal. And that's my four intresting animals.
