What is this?
It's not what you think.
Its an owl pellet.
Owls eat their food whole and cannot digest some parts of their prey,
such as hair, bone & feathers. Those parts are then regurgitated as a pellet.
My (future naturalist) granddaughter & I dissected it to see what was inside.
Inside the matted fur were bones & teeth.
We concluded from the size of these vertebrae,
the rodent-like teeth and the color & texture of the fur that the unlucky victim was a squirrel.
