About this Event
Join The Lincoln Imps Mammal Group for a fun and educational Owl Pellet Dissection Event to celebrate National Mammal Week and the official launch of the Lincoln Imps Mammal Group.
Wait… What’s an Owl Pellet? Let’s clear this up - owl pellets are not poo! They’re the parts of an owl’s prey that it can’t digest, like bones, fur, and feathers, which are coughed up in a compact pellet. By dissecting them, you can find out exactly what the owl ate, sometimes even identifying tiny skulls and bones of mice, voles, and shrews!
What to Expect:
- Hands-on dissection of real owl pellets
- All materials and equipment provided
- Identification guides
- Insights into local small mammals
- A chance to contribute to real science as part of the “Searching for Shrews” project run by The Mammal Society
Who Can Join?
- Suitable for ages 5 and up
- Under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult
Whether you're a budding biologist or just love nature, this is a unique opportunity to explore the secret lives of owls and contribute to real wildlife research.
The Lincoln Imps Mammal Group reserves the right to postpone or cancel any events subject to inclement weather or other extenuating circumstances.
