Where did Lewis and Clark catch the prairie dog?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

On September 7, 1804, we meet an animal that Captain Lewis wanted to take back to President Jefferson. The animal was sitting on its back, but it must have heard the noise of coming close to it because it went down into its burrow. Captain Lewis wanted to take that animal back to President Jefferson. Then Captain Lewis and Captain Clark got some of their men to help them, we tried to dig down and get to the bottom of the burrow and force the animal, out the way. Then we went to one of holes and we kept pulling up water, gallons and gallons and gallons of water, and pouring it down into hole trying to force that animal out of there. Finally we got one of the animals out.

I got the see what the animal looked like. The animal had tan skin with, a light colored belly. It had black eyes. It had long arms and legs. It was as tall forearm. Its ears were short and round. Its was tail was as long as my finger.The tip of its tail was black.

We had a hard time settling on a name. Its bark reminded Captain Lewis of a toy dog, but he preferred to call it the barking squirrel. Captain Clark called it the burrowing squirrel and the ground rat. Sergeant Ordway, insisted on calling it the prairie dog.The animal was actually nothing like a dog.
