Class Response#2

In science class we learned lots of new things such as owl pellets. Owl pellets are balls of left over stuff that owls cant digest. Certain animals such as the original barn owl eats and spits out remainders such as fur and bones.

-The owls eat their food not in pieces but whole. They don't have teeth so they swallow whole. After the food digests it spits out balls of materials such as fur and bones that they cant digest.
-The owls digestive system splits the food in half meat/bones or fur. Which causes it to spit the food it cant digest.

This is what we learned in class. And i find it very interesting. Such as how owl pellets are such odd shapes.
