Though they were not trained naturalists, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark in their
explorations of North America in the early nineteenth century came across enough unfamiliar
birds, mammals, and reptiles to fill a zoo. In keeping with President Jefferson’s orders, they
took careful note of 122 species and subspecies that were unknown to science and in many
cases native only to the West. Clark made sketches of any particularly intriguing creature. He
and Lewis also collected animal hides and horns and bird skins with such care that a few of
them were still intact nearly two centuries later. While Lewis and Clark failed to meet the
mythological monster reputed to dwell in the West, they did unearth the bones of a 45-foot
dinosaur. Furthermore, some of the living beasts they did come upon, such as the wooly
mountain goat and the grizzly bear, were every bit as odd or as fearsome as any myth. In their
collector’s enthusiasm, they even floated a prairie dog out of its burrow by pouring in five
barrelfuls of water, then shipped the frisky animal to Jefferson alive and yelping.
