Did you know?
Did you know that owls have a unique way of digesting their food? When an owl consumes its prey, it cannot digest the entire animal, so it forms a compact pellet called an owl pellet. These pellets are regurgitated by the owl, and inside you can find a fascinating array of bones. Owls primarily feed on small mammals like rodents, voles, shrews, and even small birds. Therefore, when dissecting an owl pellet, it's not uncommon to discover tiny bones from these creatures. By examining the contents of an owl pellet, scientists and nature enthusiasts can gain valuable insights into the owls' diet and the ecosystem they inhabit. So, the next time you stumble upon an owl pellet, grab some tweezers and start discovering the secrets hidden within!
