A great horned owl's diet is about 50% voles, 40% mice, 5% rats, and 5% shrews. Assume the great horned owl is regurgitating 2 pellets a day and each pellet
contains 4 skulls. Determine the number of each type of animal the owl consumes
during a 24-hour period. (Use only whole numbers. Place the numbers on the data
table. If you completed the owl pellet dissection, record the actual number and
type of animal consumed).
