AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Smaller and less powerful than mountain lions, for example, wolves work together to take down prey much larger than an individual wolf; prey that may otherwise elude them. While individual wolves have been able to subdue large prey animals, their advantage is in collaborating with their pack .

Detailed explanation-2: -The Bond. Living in a pack not only facilitates the raising and feeding of pups, coordinated and collaborative hunting, and the defense of territory, it also allows for the formation of many unique emotional bonds between pack members, the foundation for cooperative living. Wolves care for each other as individuals.

Detailed explanation-3: -Wolves hunt in packs for the simple reason that it takes less energy for a pack of wolves to bring down larger prey than it does for a single wolf.

Detailed explanation-4: -When hunting large game, the wolf pack separates out and surrounds its prey. Wolves usually bite the shoulders and flanks. While some pack members approach the prey from the rear, other wolves seize the prey by the nose.

Detailed explanation-5: -Like most humans, wolves form monogamous breeding pairs and remain together for the duration of their adult life. As a team, the pair will maintain a territory, search for prey, and, above all, remain loyal to one another and their family unit.
