Regurgitated!!!!

In Cole's science class they had the pleasure of dissecting an owl pellet and finding the bones.

Owl pellets consist of undigested fur, feathers, bills, claws, teeth, skulls and bones of the prey animals.

In owls, the pellet forms 6 to 10 hours after it's meal is eaten, and is regurgitated from 10 to 16 hours after the meal. This process is necessary to keep the bird healthy.

So this is the bones found in Cole's pellet, we think it's a little mouse!
