Bone from Great Horned Owl Pellet
This was found in a pellet that was at least 8 cm long and had lots of small bones and leg bones, plus 3 skulls. The skulls were about 2-3 cm long.
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.
Habitat: small woodland meadow
