Owl Pellets

We dissected owl pellets on Tuesday, November 25. We did this as part of our study of rodents. The owl pellets (we ordered them on line) were wrapped in foil. We unwrapped them and soaked them in water for a few minutes (they smelled awful). Then we began to pick them appart with tooth picks. We decided that they all had rodents in them. One thing that suprised me was that many of them had more than one animal in one pellet. I had four skulls in mine.
