Lewis and Clark encountered a Grizzly Bear, which was more aggressive and noticeably more difficult to kill than its eastern Black Bear relative. They had to shoot it multiple times before it crossed a nearby stream and later died.
· Lewis and Clark were warned by local Indians that there were large grizzly bears but Lewis thought they were only a danger to the Indians because the Indians only had bows and arrows not guns. One day Lewis and another man encountered two grizzly bears. Lewis' companion shot and killed the bear but the when Lewis shot the second bear he only injured it which caused the bear to charge toward him. The grizzly chased Lewis for 80 yards before it was shot and killed by Lewis' companion.
