There are many carnivorous animals but to main groups
1.Cats
2.Dogs
And I am going to talk about the dog family in these 2 groups.
Dogs are highly successful animals thriving all around the world in different species. Some of these include. In this I will talk about wolves and hunting dogs.
These dogs are the most successful hunter that chase their prey in the world with 8/10 of their hunts successful. They are led by an alpha male and female. This is the only pair in the whole clan that can breed. These animals are not that common to find for their burrows are well hidden in the shrubs. Their litter can have 20+ pups and as a pack they can hunt in up to 50 in a pack. a few usually chase the herd from behind and drive them into the waiting dogs. Therefore in t heir sheer number they usually manage to take a target down such as an animal as big a wildebeest. When the hunter reach home to feed their pups, the pups lick the adults mouths to indicate that they want food. The adult regurgitates food. As most dog pups fight for food, these share even as pups.
Wolves
Wolves are another part of the dogs' family. Whereas these are not as successful in hunting as the hunting dogs and only 1/10 of their hunts are successful and they hunt quite often. They travel with the elk herds picking on the weaklings. Wolves can be howling for 2 reasons
1. To warn of other wolf packs
2. To reunite again after a long chase
Wolves use the same method as their relatives in Africa but have less number of them in a pack.
Wolves usually prey on large herbivores such as deer, elk, and moose. But they need lots of power to take down a moose for they are large and powerful. These wolves have a strict hierarchy and just like hunting dogs only the alpha male and female can mate. The females have their own hierarchy and the males too.
