Owl Pellet Dissection

After a week of learning all about owls, we got to dissect owl pellets. We learned that owls do not have teeth and have to swallow their prey whole. As a result, they are left with items in their tummy which cannot be digested. Hence the owl pellet! 

After sifting through the matted fur ball, we discovered bones! We found the skulls of mice, rats, birds, and even a shrew. No bones about it, this was a memorable day!
