We’ve all heard of the term “night owl” before. It’s used to describe people who like to stay up late.
We can learn a lot from owls. Just like how they use their incredible senses to snatch up their prey while hunting, we can use our own intuition, wisdom, and patience to reevaluate where we want to be in this new year and use our skills to reach those goals!.
Elf owls are the smallest type of owl. They only stand around five inches tall, and weigh between one ounce to an ounce and a half.
During the winter months, bears hunker down in their dens. These dens are only used for shelter during the winter, they aren’t permanent homes.
Long-Eared Owls are medium-sized owls that have very long ear tufts. They can be found in various regions from North America to the Middle East to Northern Africa.
Wolves were reintroduced in 1996, and since then biologists have done a lot of work to keep track of them, study them, and keep them safe.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year and we have the most wonderful gift to match! Our North Pole Bone Sleuth Kit is back in stock for the holiday season! Give the gift of science and join in on the fun as your child dissects a barn owl pellet and discovers what the owl ate!.
In the wild, animals already face challenges to their survival. Human activity adds more hidden threats to their environment, which can have devastating consequences.
At this time of year, bears are starting to settle down for the winter. They’ll be settled down for the next few months, and during that time, will have cubs.
No child should go without an owl pellet at Christmas! It's that time of year again when we roll out the North Pole Bone Sleuth Discovery Kit!.
My son was begging to dissect an owl pellet. These arrived quickly and they were full of bones.
With one of the biggest family holidays only days away, we thought it’d be fun to dive into owl families! We’re quickly approaching the time of year where owls will start picking the mates with whom they want to have clutches in springtime.
