Answer 2

here are some/..............Owl Pellets


------------------------------...

Owl pellets are masses of bone, teeth, hair, feathers and exoskeletons of various animals preyed upon by raptors, or birds of prey. Pellets are produced and regurgitated not only by owls, but by hawks, eagles and other raptors that swallow their prey whole of in small pieces. Owls feed feed early in the evening and regurgitate a single pellet approximately 20 hours after eating. Unlike snakes, the protein enzymes and strong acids which occur in the digestive tract of raptors do not digest the entire meal. The relatively weak stomach muscles of the bird form the undigested fur, bones, feather etc. into wet slimy pellets. In this process even the most fragile bones are usually preserved unbroken.

The owl pellets that you will be examining in this lab have been collected and fumigated from common barn owls. Owl pellets themselves are ecosystems, providing food and shelter for communities which may include clothes moths, carpet beetles and fungi. Clothes moth larvae are frequently abundant in pellets, feeding on fur and feathers. The black spheres about the size of periods (.) that are found in the pellets are the droppings of the caterpillars. The larvae metamorphose near the surface of a pellet in cocoons made of fur.

Materials

Owl pellets (http://www.pelletlab.com/)
Dissecting Needle/toothpicks & tweezers
Paper
Bone Chart (http://www.carolina.com/owls/guide/owl_p...
Procedure
1.Measure the length and width of your owl pellets.

Length of your owl pellet_______

Width of your owl pellet_______

Mass of your owl pellet______

2. Carefully examine the exterior of the pellet. Do you see any signs of fur? _____ any signs of feathers? ____

3.Carefully use a toothpick to break apart the owl pellet and observe what is within. Use a toothpick to expose all bones for identification. Use the bone diagram to help you identify your bones and complete the chart.

Pelvic Bone

Rib

Vertebrae



4.Organize the bones into groups and label them, use the attached chart to help you identify bones.Construction paper will serve as a mounting surface. Grade will be based on neatness, labeling and organization.

Analysis
1. What do we know about the digestive system of an owl based upon the pellets?



2. Owl pellets not only can give us information about the diet of the owl, owl pellets also provide a habitat for other animals, in fact an owl pellet is a little ecosystem all on its own.Ý Why kind of animals are found in the ìowl pellet ecosystem (Hint: read the background at the beginning)

Answer 3

love that owl pellet thing..very funny
