Mother Alligators were long thought (by scientists) to be cannibals, eating their own young. This was witnessed hundreds of times and until recently (last 50 years.) It is now well known that the mother gators are gathering up their young in their mouths to protect them. They will also assist in breaking the eggs and digging out the little ones stuck in the nest.
My point is that even the scientists can make colossal observational mistakes, especially when dealing with carnivores.
Dolphins, sharks etc hunt in super packs (hundreds to thousands) when the prey presents itself in vast numbers..
This wolf super-pack theory would not surprise me in the least.
