Challenge #286: Who turned the lights off?

A solution to last week’s challenge can be found here.raccoon.jpg

 

Because having a reliable electricity source is important to many people, we tend to notice when the power goes out! While we might expect service outages during severe weather events and other natural disasters, sometimes the culprit is... fluffier and cuter, or slithers.

 

Using the provided dataset, find out:
• How many outage events can we attribute to animals?
List the culprits with the count of events in descending order.

 

Hint
Use the animals listed in the "Operative" field and information from the "Article Title" field to replace values of "Animal" with the actual animals.

 

Note

All animal types present in this dataset are included in the "Operative" column.
