More from the MuseumTour expert:
Owl pellets are masses of bone, teeth, hair, feathers and exoskeletons of animals preyed upon by owls.
The relatively weak stomach muscles of the bird form the undigested fur, bones, feather etc. into wet slimy pellets; even the most fragile bones are usually preserved unbroken.
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.
Many adults say �disgusting�, but your kids will say �awesome!�
