In one wolf pack the alpha wolves force every dog to hunt hard and to make many kills for the good of the pack. The left over scraps are then distributed to the group.
In the other pack, one or two wolves hunt and bring back lots of meat. While the rest of the pack feasts without having to hunt at all. Sue H (TX)
