The technology that links taxonomy and Star Trek

  • AnoniMouse

    @broken fingers
    Owl pellets are regurgitated and the mouse symbolizes a pellet.

  • tomboing

    Cute enough, but looks inaccurate by about 1/4 inch. My eye says zero would be about where the mouse’s eyes are.

  • El Zombre

    You always measure from the 1. At least I do. Then I wonder why everything is off by 1 inch.

  • concrete_d

    Jinyoung Yu’s sculptures are pretty great too (owl’s sitting on a picture of one).

  • broken_fingers

    A neat variation might be a cute, fuzzy owl pellet (with some bones sticking out) stretching from the owl’s butt.
