Wild Animals of Lewis and Clark

Hi Students!

Wouldn't you like to have seen the wild animals that Lewis and Clark saw on their journey from Missouri to the Pacific Coast? They were amazed and dazzled by the number and variety of animals they saw. Many were animals they had never seen before, and that scientists had never heard of. Their adventure was one of the greatest camping trips of all time!

Lewis and Clark each kept a diary, and so did some of the other men. In their diaries, they made notes and sometimes drawings of what they saw. Grizzly bears, bighorn sheep, prairie dogs, magpies, jackrabbits, pronghorns--these are just a few of animals they had never seen before.

When you click the Wild Animals in the Wilderness link below, you will experience many of the animals that Lewis and Clark saw. Most, but not all of them could be found in Idaho. You can see 16 different kinds of wild animals---including a whale! And that is no fish story!

No, these are not all of the animals Lewis and Clark saw, but hey, I'm not a magician.

Click away and have a fun journey.
