Pellet parts

Sunil has completed another second grade right of passage. He dissected his owl pellet. This year the finds were cleaned up (marginally) and glued to an owl silhouette. He has a row of skulls, a row of femurs, a row of claws and a row of teeth from his pellet (the remains of at least two but more likely three rodents). All of the rows look pretty similar until you get really close up. He liked it so much that it is hanging on his bedroom door. (actually I like it too!)

Sounds like the owl had a yummy repast!
