Comment on The Pack

One wolf killing a moose is a very difficult feat. But when that wolf success he gets more than half of the meat still.
Six wolves will have a much easier time killing a single moose. They will have almost all meat for themselves, but now have to divide it among them. If that would be done fairly ever wolf would only get a third of what they would get if they killed a moose alone.
I don’t think what’s said in the screenshot is as straightforward as they think it is. I’d be more convinced hunting in packs has a lot more to do with being able to tackle stronger prey. A moose isn’t defenseless.

Also can a single wolf even eat a whole moose?

They can eat out the innards and use the carcass as a shelter like a tauntaun…
Then when the meat is all gone, they make an epic robot out of their bones.

When the outside is a freezer, yeah. Given the usual range of moose that’s true for like half the year.

One lab or one beagle sure could!

It only needs to eat 53% according to the discussion above.

If the bird fact is true then no, since a single wolf wouldn’t be enough to scare away all the birds they would lose some more moose flesh from scavengers
