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.

Wyoming resident here. We actually do have a “zombie moose” problem and its persistence is in part due to a lack of wolves. No, I am not kidding.
