@gnomoboleto.bsky.social hosted a super fun owl pellet workshop today!

Owl pellets are regurgitated balls of indigestible material like bones, fur, and feathers.

We found a few different voles and frogs in ours today.

We'll let you know when we figure it out 😩

Analysis of a bear cranium found there provides the first direct evidence for the participation of brown bears in Roman spectacles.
