hunting behavior

the pursuit of other animals for food or sport. Hunting behavior may include other forms of behavior, such as stalking, running after moving objects, or use of concealment or camouflage. In chimpanzees and social carnivores (e.g., wolves and lions), there is evidence of cooperative hunting behavior, which appears to be coordinated among several individuals.
