                    Figure 20-28  •  A, Lateral and ventrodorsal (B) images of a great gray owl show the disintegrating carcass of a small mammal in the
                    ventriculus. Note how the enlarged stomach has displaced the liver cranially, and in the process, spread apart the individual lobes, making
                    the organ appear much wider than usual. The effect on the size and shape of the central visceral silhouette is dramatic.
