Owl Pellets Some Chelwood students recently did a project with dissecting owl pellets. For those of you who have never heard of an owl pellet, it is just another term for owl droppings. The students were all divided into pairs and given an owl pellet to carefully dissect. At first the students feel it is a pretty gross thing to do, but soon that goes away and the students are amazed at what they find. The average owl pellet contained 3 rodent skulls and numerous bones. The students were given a chart to help them identify the bones and to see how much of the skeleton they could put back together. It is fascinating to work on and the students were excited to share their bones with one another. The following pictures were taken while the students were working to dissect their pellets. Notice how intently they are involved in this.
