By the end of the expedition, Lewis and Clark found and categorized 122 new animals and 178 plants, mapped the geography, and achieved friendlier relations with the natives. However, they did not find an all water route to the Pacific Ocean.List of plants discovered: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_plant_life_did_Lewis_and_Clark_find_on_their_expeditionList of animals discovered: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_animal_life_did_Lewis_and_Clark_encounter_during_their_expedition
because lewis and clark took Sagagawea on part of their journey. when they found the shoshone tribe Sagagawea relised the ledder of the shoshone tribe was her brother. the shoshone tribe gave them anything because Sagagwea was captered by a nouther tribe and now lewis and clark took her under their wing and returned her to her original tribe. :)
Prior to the expedition, Clark was in fact Lewis' superior officer and was very experienced in handling boats. While Lewis spent his time in St. Louis gathering information, Clark did most of the work of turning the disparate crew into an integrated corps. Clark served mainly as the expedition "doctor" and as co-captain in updating the journals. He often traded medical care for food and eventually established a reputation among the natives for his skills. Finding a man with a tumor on his thigh who couldn't walk, Clark cleansed and dressed the wound and left him some soap to wash the sore. He soon got better and as Clark says "this man assigned the restoration of his leg to me."
No one knows the right answer but many asume its because she helped lewis and clark. She saved there suplies .
Lewis' dog, of the Lewis and Clark expedition, was of the Newfoundland breed. Historians differ on whether the dog was named "Seaman" or "Scannon", depending on how you read Lewis' writing. Lewis purchased him for some $20 from a riverboat captain before he left Washington D.C for Pittsburgh in 1803. The captain had won him and his mother playing cards.
They knew some of the plants and animals names
Sacajawea accompanied Lewis and Clark to try to find the Northwest passage in the West. Back then, the Americans in Lewis's and Clark's time thought that the West was a great deserted plain. Lewis and Clark were sent, along with some others, to explore. They found different plants, animals, and land marks. Some of these were different types of flowers, the Rocky Mountains, and buffalo. They also met more Native Americans. At the end Lewis and Clark did not find the Northwest passage, because it does not exist. But they discovered many other things.
a few things I know are . . .they found medical plants, new species of animals and several passes through the Rocky Mountains.
