On Monday October the 6th we had a visit from Scientist in the School. the scientist who worked with us was Nadja, a zoologist. There were microscopes, and people were fascinated by the bones she brought. Some people thought that it was a lot like art, but disgusting. But others thought it was interesting finding cool bones, and insects in owl pellets.
We learned:
- owls eat animals whole
- owls have more than one set of animal remains in a pellet
- they throw up what they cannot digest in the shape of their throats
- owls have no teeth, and they throw up 2 times a day
- a raccoons skull is identical to a skunk but a bit bigger.
- a raccoon is an omnivore
