Do animals eat..?

Question

Do animals like wolves eat one of there members in there pack after it dies? Because they fight for food, look for food, so what stops them from eating there pack?

Answer 1

Generally speaking, no. Few carnivorous animals will eat other carnivores, since their flesh tastes unpleasant. Of course, if they were hungry enough, carnivorous animals would eat any meat, but their own kind would be at the very bottom of the list, and they certainly wouldn't resort to killing members of their own social group.

Wolves in particular have intense social bonds and very rarely fight amongst themselves (within their own pack, that is - they will defend their territory against other packs). They have a social hierarchy reinforced daily with body language, so that each wolf knows its place in the pack. This removes the need for conflict. Most social animals have a similar system for coping with group living, and many, like wolves, will mourn when a group member dies. Wolf packs have been observed to cease play behaviour for around six weeks after a pack member dies.

Answer 2

in the natures life cycle, survival for the fittest apply at the first priority, it is possible, because in frog's life cycle in amazon, thousands of tadpole take birth from single womb, but only 25 -30 survive, and the reason is the climatic cycle, as the eggs are layed in post rainy season, by the time they grow as frogs one complete year has to pass and they have to live in water, during summer the water dries and tadpoles find it difficult to get oxygen and food so the stronger one eats the weaker one which the member. similarly, there must be scientific reason and may be true in case of wolves.
