Our Finds in the Owl Pellet

Yes! It was owl pellets that we were disecting Monday and Tuesday.
Since pellets is what the owl regurgitates after eating, it of course holds a lot of pieces of bones.
We are now trying to put the bones together so that we can get the skeletons as complete as possible, and then we can determine what kind of animal it belongs too. Real detective work in other words!


Matching the bones to the right place in the skeleton can be a little tricky!


There's a lot of little bones to match.


The head is on!


Look at this! The skull is almost complete.
And all the pieces were found in the owl pellet.
Amazing!
