Dissecting owl pellets is one of our favorite science lessons of all. Owl pellets contain the bones and fur of the animals that the owl eats. After a night of feeding, the owl will spit up a pellet. (No, they are not owl droppings.)  Science Bob has dissected thousands of owl pellets with students over the years and he searched for months to find a supplier of natural pellets that consistently contain a good amount of bones for students to uncover. These pellets are larger than most pellets that are included in kits - each pellet measures 2+ inches (5 cm.) and each is heat sterilized and individually wrapped in foil. We'll even add our own bone identification and information sheet that you are free to copy. Pellets are great for teaching about food chains & webs, birds of prey, and bone identification. 

Optional 4 inch wooden probes are available in quantities of 15 and 30.
