Great Horned Owl Pellet Full of Bones The pellet was at least 8cm long and had lots of small bones and leg bones, plus 3 skulls. The skulls were about 2-3cm long. <br />
<br />
Owls eat small rodents, birds, and insects. But, they cannot digest the fur, bones, teeth, feathers, and exoskeletons from their prey. So, these parts are formed into a tight pellet inside the owl, who later spits the pellet out. Geotagged,Great Horned Owl,United States,Winter,owl pellet,pellet Click/tap to enlarge
