Prairie Dog
black-tailed prairie dog
The prairie dog was first encountered by the Lewis and Clark expedition on September 7, 1804, in present-day Boyd County, Nebraska. When alarmed they emit a bark somewhat similar to what Lewis called "that of the little toy dogs." Clark described the animal as a "ground rat", a burrowing squirrel, and he noted that although his men dug six feet into a burrow trying to catch one, they realized they hadn't even gotten "half way to his Lodges" so they spent the better part of the day attempting to drown them out: "we por'd into one of the holes 5 barrels of water without filling it" and eventually succeeded in capturing a live prairie dog. It was sent to Washington D.C. along with other specimens to Jefferson.
Lewis and Clark were Meriwether Lewis (1774-1809) and William Clark (1770-1838).
The Corps of Discovery traveled with Lewis and Clark, but unsure what everyones first name was.
Lewis and Clark spent an entire day trying to capture a prairie dog, after they encountered their first prairie dog city which covered some four acres on September 7, 1804. They killed one, then captured another alive by pouring a great quantity of water down its hole. The following April they sent one live prairie dog to Jefferson with the small party that returned downriver to St. Louis. Remarkably, the creature arrived alive.
