<speciesfyi-glossary slug="pack-behavior"></speciesfyi-glossary>Definition
Cooperative social behavior in group-living animals, including coordinated hunting and collective defense.
Detailed Explanation
Pack behavior enables exploitation of large prey and defense of territories far beyond individual capability. Wolf packs coordinate through howls, body language, and scent — role specialization during hunts (herding, chasing, ambushing) improves success rates. African wild dog packs show complex cooperative breeding, where non-breeding individuals help feed and guard pups. Social living also imposes costs: disease transmission and competition for food and mates.
