Cooperative Hunting
When animals work together to catch food.
What is it?
Cooperative hunting is when a group of animals hunts together to catch prey that would be hard to catch alone. Pelicans often hunt in groups, driving fish into shallow water where they are easier to scoop up. Other animals that hunt cooperatively include wolves, lions, and dolphins.
Why it matters
Cooperative hunting helps animals catch more food and survive. It also shows how animals communicate and work as a team. Studying it helps scientists understand animal behavior and evolution.
