- 8:41my
- 8:41yard
- 8:41because
- 8:41we
- 8:42have
- 8:42all
- 8:42kinds
- 8:42of
- 8:43beautiful
- 8:43animals
- 8:43that
- 8:44come
- 8:44and
- 8:44go,
- 8:44and
- 8:45Clark
- 8:45is
- 8:45nocturnal
- 8:46and
- 8:46is
- 8:46pretty
- 8:47shy.
- 8:47So
- 8:48I
- 8:48just
- 8:48thought
- 8:49this
- 8:49would
- 8:49make
- 8:49a
- 8:49good
- 8:50book.
- 8:50A
- 8:50good
- 8:50book.
- 8:51Because
- 8:51when
- 8:52you.
- 8:52We
- 8:52were
- 8:52talking
- 8:53a
- 8:53little
- 8:53bit
- 8:53earlier
- 8:54and
- 8:54you
- 8:54said.
- 8:54When
- 8:54you
- 8:54mentioned
- 8:55a
- 8:55Beaver.
- 8:55Everybody
- 8:56thinks
- 8:56of
- 8:56the
- 8:57traditional
- 8:58beaver
- 8:58with
- 8:59the
- 8:59flat
- 8:59tail.
- 8:59They
- 9:00build
- 9:00the
- 9:00lodge.
- 9:01And
- 9:01I
- 9:01was
- 9:02asking
- 9:02people
- 9:02around
- 9:02here
- 9:03that
- 9:03have
- 9:03grown
- 9:03up
- 9:03in
- 9:03Washington
- 9:04because
- 9:04Clark
- 9:05is
- 9:05only.
- 9:05Mountain
- 9:06beavers
- 9:06are
- 9:06only
- 9:06found
- 9:06from
- 9:06British
- 9:07Columbia
- 9:07down
- 9:08to
- 9:08Northern
- 9:08California.
- 9:09So
- 9:09they
- 9:09have
- 9:09a
- 9:10very
- 9:10limited
- 9:10territory.
- 9:10But
- 9:11everybody
- 9:11was
- 9:11doing
- 9:11the
- 9:12same
- 9:12thing
- 9:12you
- 9:12were
- 9:12getting.
- 9:13Yes.
- 9:13In
- 9:14the
- 9:14water
- 9:14and
- 9:14they
- 9:14have
- 9:15nails.
- 9:15And
- 9:15I'm
- 9:16like,
- 9:16oh,
- 9:17he's
- 9:17so
- 9:17misunderstood.
- 9:18And
- 9:18nobody
- 9:19knows
- 9:20about
- 9:20him.
- 9:20So
- 9:21I
- 9:21thought
- 9:21he
- 9:21needs.
- 9:22We
- 9:22need
- 9:22to
- 9:22educate
- 9:23the
- 9:23world.
- 9:23So
- 9:23that's
- 9:24where
- 9:24that
- 9:25whole
- 9:25inspiration.
- 9:25But
- 9:26it
- 9:26was
- 9:26that
- 9:26feeling
- 9:26of
- 9:26being

- 9:32I
- 9:32know
- 9:32you
- 9:33named
- 9:33the
- 9:34beaver
- 9:34Clark.
- 9:35And
- 9:35I
- 9:35think
- 9:35it's
- 9:36from
- 9:36Lewis
- 9:37and
- 9:37Clark,
- 9:37the
- 9:37adventurers
- 9:38that
- 9:39went
- 9:39through
- 9:40North
- 9:40America.
- 9:41Tell
- 9:41us
- 9:41why
- 9:42it
- 9:42wasn't
- 9:42Lewis
- 9:43the
- 9:43beaver.
- 9:44So,
- 9:45because.
- 9:45Yeah,
- 9:45so
- 9:46it
- 9:46did
- 9:46come
- 9:46from
- 9:46the
- 9:46inspiration
- 9:47from
- 9:47Lewis
- 9:47and
- 9:48Clark
- 9:48because
- 9:48when
- 9:48they
- 9:48were
- 9:48on
- 9:49their
- 9:49expedition,
- 9:50they

- 9:52when
- 9:52they
- 9:52were
- 9:53in
- 9:53Astoria,
- 9:53Oregon.
- 9:54And
- 9:54so
- 9:55they
- 9:55had
- 9:55never
- 9:55seen
- 9:56it
- 9:56either.
- 9:56And
- 9:56they
- 9:56had
- 9:57the
- 9:57privilege
- 9:57of
- 9:57naming
- 9:58animals
- 9:58and
- 9:58plants
- 9:59and
- 9:59different
- 9:59species
- 10:00on
- 10:00this
- 10:00expedition.
- 10:01And
- 10:01he
- 10:02gnaws
- 10:02at
- 10:03trees
- 10:03like

- 10:04like
- 10:04a
- 10:04regular

- 10:07mountain
- 10:07beaver
- 10:08just
