needle
owl
pellets
Use
a
dissecting
needle
to
carefully
separate
the
bones
from
the
fur
or
feathers.
As
you
expose
the
bones,
carefully
remove
them
using
tweezers.
3.
Gently
break
the
pellet
in
half
and
continue
to
pull
it
apart
into
smaller
pieces.
2.
Use
a
magnifying
glass
to
examine
each
bone;
then,
group
similar
bones
together.
4.
Use
a
dichotomous
key
to
identify
the
different
prey
animals
in
a
pellet.
Examining
lower
jaw
bones
is
the
simplest
way
to
identify
which
prey
animals
have
been
eaten
by
the
owl.
After
identifying,
group
similar
bones
together.
To
reconstruct
a
skeleton,
arrange
all
the
bones
from
an
animal
on
a
piece
of
cardboard.
Use
white
glue
to
attach
the
bones
to
the
cardboard.
