My favorite thing we have done in class so far was dissecting the Owl pellets. The reason i liked it so much is because i learned a lot of things that i have never known. For example, I never knew it was actually regurgitation. That was an interesting thing for me to learn. I also enjoyed watching the Dirty Jobs video so we can learn about it, in a fun way like watching television. Also, once we got down to the dissecting it got even more fun.
Finding the skeleton inside of our pellet was very interesting. At first it looked like just a bunch of bones, and then My partner and I started to reassemble the rodent skeleton. We put together the skull vertebrate, and many other body parts creating a full skeleton.
I've read further information at http://www.biologycorner.com/worksheets/owlpellet.html. here I have learned further body parts found in the pellet. Also, I learned pellets are also made by Hawks.
These were the reasons I found this class activity to be so fun. I'm glad i have gotten the opportunity to do it as well.
