Right, wolves pack-hunt which involves pretty complex management
of prey herds including something like a “theory of prey mind” to
predict what the prey will do.
There is a lot known about cape dog hunting because they are in
fairly open country and can be observed. Not only do they
predict where the prey herd will go, they coordinate and signal to
each other with postures during the chase. It is absolutely beautiful
to watch, like stop-action ballet.
IIRC, herding is explicitly mentioned in the book as a behavior that wolves do and which has been strengthened by selection in some dog races.
