Barn owls swoop down on rodents and swallow them whole – gophers, voles and mice, gone in a few gulps. But how do they keep down all that food? Well, they don’t. In a few stomach-turning steps, they transform the varmints into compact balls of fur and bones known as pellets.

We hope you enjoy this first look at our newest episode. You can start sharing it with other science fans on Tuesday, August 9 from YouTube. Thanks!
