Owl Pellets! EWWWWWW

In science class we had to experiment and do a lab with owl pellets. This lab wasn't so lovely either. During the process of taking the pellet apart and examining it, I learned that there are only about four or five animals that are most common in owl pellets. My partner and I had two animals preys inside the pellet. One was a brown rat and the other was a shrew. Inside the pellet, there was a lot of fur that I think belonged to the animals that we regurgitated. This lab was not that neat OR clean either but it taught me a lot about owls and their food.
