Because no organism exists alone. When you understand food webs, habitat, and pressure, the species make sense. Ecology isn’t about memorizing animals—it’s about understanding relationships and outcomes.
Discover how owl pellets reveal the hidden stories of ecosystems, connecting wildlife, farming, and science through nature’s own data.
Explore how Barn Owls adapt their diets during the fall harvest, and how irrigation, prey abundance, and farming practices shape their silent nightly hunts.
Explore how bats use their wings, echolocation, and senses to master the night—nature’s ultimate flying engineers.

Bats are remarkable mammals — despite their small size, many live for decades, with records over 40 years. This longevity is linked to enhanced DNA repair, efficient metabolism, and strong immune systems, offering valuable insights for human health and aging research.
At OBDK, we offer a collection of posters designed to teach students about wildlife in a clear, visual, and engaging way. Each piece combines high-quality illustrations with key information, making it an ideal tool to support teachers, spark curiosity, and enrich the learning experience.
Barn owl pellets are not waste — they're carefully packed bundles of fur, bones, and insect exoskeletons, the parts of their prey that cannot be digested.
Barn owls as natural pest control and prairie protectorsSilent wings, sharp eyes, and a knack for solving mysteries — barn owls like me, Lady Eleanor Bones, are nature’s pest control team.
The Long-Eared Owl is a fascinating bird of prey with many unique characteristics. From its distinctive appearance to its unusual behaviors, this owl is genuinely one of a kind.
The Eastern Screech Owl is a fascinating bird of prey found throughout the eastern United States. Its distinctive call, unique behavior, and hunting prowess make it an exciting subject of study for bird enthusiasts and scientists alike.
