Extracted text: Game meats, including those from white-tailed deer and eastern gray squirrels, are used as food by families, hunters, and other individuals for health, cultural, or personal reasons. A study by David Holben (A-1) assessed the selenium content of meat from free-roaming white-tailed deer (venison) and gray squirrel (squirrel) obtained from a low selenium region of the United States. These selenium content values were also compared to those of beef produced within and outside the same region. We want to know if the selenium levels are different among the four meat groups Meat Type VENISON SQUIRREL Region-based BEEF Non-Region-based BEEF 26.72 37.42 11.23 44. 33 14.86 37.57 15.82 28.58 16.47 25.71 27.74 29.71 56.46 29.63 76.86 25.19 51.91 20.42 4.45 37.45 23.97 22.35 26.95 62.73 13.82 34.78 10.97 4.55 10.12 55.01 45.08 42.21 39.91 58.21 25.22 35.88 35.09 21.97 39.17 32.66
