DISSECTION: OWL PELLETS

Today was a very fun science lab day! We have been studying zoology and today we started the study of birds, specifically the "birds of prey". The kids dissected owl pellets today to figure out what exactly the owl ate before regurgitating a huge pellet. The pellets were sterilized and safe to dissect. Heres the verdict: JD-his owl ate 2 rats and one bird, FP-3 rats, Ju-2 rats. The boys were able to resconstruct most of their dead rodents. I have to say, they were really into this....two straight hours, piece by piece.....it was awesome!!!
