Owl Pellet Dissection

We just finished dissecting an owl pellet in Science today. The last part of the dissection involved reporting the contents of your pellet to a website which collects all of the data. After analyzing all of the data, answer the following questions as a group.
1.) What type of animal do owls prey on the most?
2.) How could it be helpful to collect this data from schools across the country?
