The image of the owl is from: http://www.flickr.com/photos/profilesofnature/4407380301/That is what an owl looks like when it is regurgitating. An owl pellet is actually formed in the stomach of the owl, after the owl eats, it forms a ball of all of the items the owl simply cannot digest. That is what this little beauty looks like coming out of the owl.
Here are some images of when some crazy people decide we should actually dissect it....AHHHH!! (It actually wasn't that bad...I vaguely remember doing this as a child, but I fear I might have blocked it out....:))
Are you ready....the SKULL!!! (see images below) My group members and I think it might be from some kind of rodent...it had these gnarly long teeth that really freaked us out. This truly is a really interesting way for students to see real bones of animals. Though it was a little creepy, I really feel like this is a great activity to do with students. I am glad I got some practice with it, because it wont seem as scary and daunting if I brought this into my classroom.
