Owl Pellet Lab

For the Owl Pellet Dissection we basically measured and weight it before start doing anything, after that we started to separate carefully all the different part and taking out the bones for after create the skeleton. After separating all the different types of bones we organize them and analyzing them for start identifying what type of animal could be, after taking pictures and finding the correct type of animal we finished the lab cleaning.
In our pellet we found the bones of a vole:

If you compare the bones of the picture and the ones in the packet you will see that they match, so this show us that it should be it. Also we found the fibula and the tibia who match with the picture, the vertebral column show us that this animal walk because it needed it for support the body. We found smaller bones that could be part of the tail and the scapula bone show us more evidence for finally determinate that it's a vole.

The similarities with the human skeleton are visible in were both skeletons are slightly similar in structure, both have femur, tibia, fibula or humerus. Another similarity is the amount of bones in the extremities like the legs. And the last similarity is that the vertebral column is formed by vertebrae.

The differences are in the size because as is appreciable  the vole is smaller. Other difference is the hardness of the bones, the human are harder because we are bigger than the voles. And the last difference is the fact that the voles have tail bones.
