LOOKING INTO "EGAGRÓPILAS"
1ºESO: June, 2007

"Egagrópilas" are little balls that are spat out by night bird of prey like owls.
We find bones, hair and feathers inside the egagrópilas.

We can know what the owl ate looking at the "egagrópilas". They usually eat rodents.
You can see the skulls of two mice on the left and the skull of a bird (maybe a pidgeon) on the right.
Bones from a rat.
Bones from several mice.
Bones from the leg of a rat.
These are the scapulas from a little mouse.
