This presentation is about keystone species, and how they benefit the world, how climate change is directly or indirectly affecting this our creature, and what we can do to fix it.
For this assignment, we dissected an owl’s pellet. I was surprised that the bones were still in big pieces rather than in small pieces. The challenges we faced were having to take the bones out of the pellet without breaking them. I learned that these pieces were the food that the owl didn’t digest. This activity connects to what we learned in class because in class, we learned about a mouse’s anatomy. The skeleton inside the owl pellet was similar to the mouse’s anatomy. This is a picture of the skeleton reassembled on paper.
