Pellet


I presume this is an owl or hawk pellet. Found here, via, without any explanation that I can decipher, even using Babelfish. I encounter pellets like these along trails while hiking. They are much more interesting than the feline hairballs regurgitated around our house.

I've always been impressed that various raptor centers and other retail outlets sell pellet-dissecting kits for children. My young niece got one as a gift a few years ago and was enthralled. It's a potential gift to keep in mind with the holiday season approaching, if you know a youngster with an inquiring mind.
