wolf packs

Canine hunting parties

A wolf pack is a social group of wolves, typically a family unit with a dominant breeding pair and their offspring.

The term extends to any coordinated group operating together, especially with predatory or aggressive intent: a wolf pack of submarines, a wolf pack of reporters descended on the courthouse.

The phrase often carries connotations of coordinated hunting or harassment.
