OWLS!! :)

In class we are learning about owls, and we are dissecting owl pellets. Owls are the type of bird that swallows their prey whole. After they swallow their prey, the owl digests the softer parts of the body, and then it regurgitates the bones into pellets. During class, every pair of students got an owl pellet to dissect. My partner and I had a hard owl pellet. The dissecting takes over an hour, and you find plenty of bones. Our particular owl had two types of animals the time it regurgitated our pellet. My partner and I suggested that the two animals were either a mole or a rodent. At first, the dissecting is a little gross, but once you get over the fact that it is regurgitated food, you come to find that the remains of the animals an owl eats is very intriguing.
