It applies to environmental science as it displays a key part of an ecosystem functioning in its habitat.]]> 2017-10-15 21:46:37 UTC https://padlet.com/zhuang9040/9clwttlbge68/wish/197166418 zhuang9040 https://padlet.com/zhuang9040/9clwttlbge68/wish/197166905 This picture displays a disassembled owl's hairball which contains various remains from previously eaten prey. It was dissembled in class. Typically owl's expel 2.5 hairballs a day and in this case there were 4 rats and 2 mice within this hairball. This photo displays biodiversity through the numerous types of prey that are eaten by the owl, with mice and rat skulls being shown while shrews, voles, and other birds also being possible remains. This relates to environmental science by showing the variety of animals in an ecosystem.]]> 2017-10-15 21:51:51 UTC https://padlet.com/zhuang9040/9clwttlbge68/wish/197166905
