Arthritis is adiseasethatcausesswellingandpaininaperson'sjoints, but isn't it something that only old people get? Actually, kids can get a kind of arthritis called **juvenile idiopathic arthritis** or **JIA** (it's also called **juvenile rheumatoid arthritis**, or **JRA**). Juvenile means young, so this means that JIA is different from the arthritis that adults get. Kids can have many different types of arthritis, but this is the most common. Joints are the places where bones meet. Arthritis can prevent people from moving their joints properly. **JIA** affects kids under age 16, who have arthritis in one or more joints. (Millie Beaton) **__ What is an owl pellet? __** Owls are birds of prey. That means that they hunt for animals to eat. After an owl eats a small rodents, birds, or bug that are a part of its nightly diet, its stomach cannot digest the fur, bones, teeth, feathers, or insect shells from that food. These "extra" parts are formed into a tight PELLET inside the owl and are then are later SPIT UP by the owl. Pellets are usually about as big as an adult thumb and they are often dissected by scientist to help them learn exactly what owls eat and what kinds of small animals and bugs live in a particular area. (Millie Beaton)
