Choose the experience that fits your learning goals:
• Economy Experience / Small (1.0" – 1.49")
• Standard Experience / Medium (1.5" – 2.49")

Larger pellets typically contain more material and may yield a greater variety of identifiable bones—ideal for deeper analysis and extended study.
What Students Actually Do
Instead of memorizing food webs, learners uncover them.
Owls consume prey whole. Fur and bones are compressed into a pellet in the gizzard, then regurgitated—creating a compact biological record of the owl’s last meal.
Inside each pellet, students may discover skulls, jawbones, vertebrae, ribs, and limb bones. Each fragment becomes data. Each bone becomes evidence.
It’s anatomy, ecology, and predator-prey relationships—hands-on and undeniable.
Designed for Real Learning
• Encourages observation, classification, and comparative anatomy
