Owl Pellets

Alex dissected Owl Pellets in science today.  He has been looking forward to this for a couple weeks, and he said it was a lot harder than he thought it would be.  He had to wear rubber gloves and cut the 1 inch Barn Owl pellet apart with toothpicks; he said it had a shell about like an egg.  He found some teeth still attached to a jaw bone, some other bones, and fur.  When I asked him what he thought the teeth were from, he said a Beaver.  Then he said . . . "No, that's too big.  Probably a mouse."
