happened to match up with a vole. There were no other animal bones to possibly

waste used as a fuel or energy source. Biomass is important to our research in
this study because it helps us understand how much energy the owl is taking in
compared to other animals. It also shows how much the average owl is eating, all
using the same units.

Graphs A and B are similar, yet very different at the same time. Graph A
