Class Response

So far during this school year, we have learned so much about different things. My favorite activities that we did were the owl pellet dissection and when we went outside searching for prey (toothpicks). But between those two, I would have to pick the owl pellet dissection. While doing this experiment i learned allot. One thing I learned was the owls can not chew their own food. They are not able to chew, because they have no teeth, so they just swallow their prey whole. When the pellet comes out, it is full of bones from various prey. I also learned that the owls diet mostly consists of rodents and small birds.
My opinion on this lab is kind of grossed out. I really wasn't into touching owl regurgitation, but I got over that feeling and just got it over with it. I think you should continue doing this lab over the years.
