Okay, so wolves are famously cooperative hunters.
They're successful at bringing down large prey when hunting together.
One interesting thing is there is very little experimental evidence with wolves
testing how they actually understand their roles when they're cooperating.
Do they actually understand they need the help of another individual to solve
certain problems?
And that they understand that certain individuals have different roles
when they're hunting or working together?
And that some individuals are more skilled than others?
That type of work has not been done yet.
It has been done with great apes, and
we know for instance that chimpanzees can solve all those types of problems.
It would be really neat to do that kind of work with wolves to see what they do.
Dogs obviously are not cooperative hunters, with the exception with us,
potentially.
There's no evidence in the literature that I could find of feral dogs
actively hunting together with any level of coordination.
And in general, feral dogs really rely on scavenging off humans.
Again, Dingo standing out as a potential exception here.
There's plenty of evidence for dingoes, preying on different marsupials.
Of course, marsupials are in many cases so vulnerable, that it's not that
they are necessarily preying on animals that are able to really defend themselves.
With the exception of some of the larger kangaroos or wallabies, which
they have been seen to prey on, and in some cases multiple individuals chasing.
