Pack hunter

Pack hunter

A pack hunter is a predator belonging to the animal kingdom, which has evolved to hunt its prey by working together with other members of its species. Normally, such animals are closely related. The most commonly known pack-hunter is the wolf, the ancestor of all breeds of domesticated dogs. This pack-hunting history is thought to be the main conduit through which humans have been able to form a mutual relationship with dogs (that is, domestication), as both species are highly social and inter-dependent. Other pack-hunters include simple arthropods such as ants and highly-intelligent mammals such as dolphins, lions, and hyenas. There is a possiblility some theropod dinosaurs were also.
