Program Description
Event Description
Owls swallow their prey whole, and their digestive systems separate flesh from bone. Later, they regurgitate compact pellets containing undigested skeleton bones. With this kit, presented in collaboration with the Museum of Osteology, experience the dissection of an owl pellet. Learn to identify different bones, understand skeletal structure, and discover the remarkable preservation that keeps tiny skeletons intact for scientific study.
Discover the fascinating world of bones at Nature’s Open Book: a special exhibit from SKELETONS: Museum of Osteology! Visit the Downtown Library in April and May to explore a selection of incredible skeletal and taxidermy specimens, with additional displays at 11 library branches.
