Today Seaman had a frighting and very close encounter with a beaver. He jumped into the water to retrieve a wounded beaver and as he swam toward it it bit him. The bite severed an artery and he is not doing well. Captain Lewis Thinking quickly stopped the blood from pouring out of the wound. But even so Seaman lost a lot of blood. Captain Lewis is not letting him put weight on it so for now he is resting in our dugout. Seaman has been a valuable companion and i cant believe that we had almost lost him. The beaver swam away before we could do anything and is still out there. The new animals are incredible and everyone in the corps are taking notes and drawing about them. Captain Clark and Captain Lewis frequently take notes about the land, temperature, humidity, and anything that could be of value for President Jefferson. Above are pictures of a beaver and of Captain Clark recording in his journal.
