To test that, Raymond Coppinger and his research team at Hampshire College in Massachusetts created a simulation in which five wolves hunted prey by following just two rules. Each wolf would move closer and closer to its prey until it reached a certain safe distance, and then it would start moving away as any other wolf reached that same distance. Those two rules governed the entirety of the simulated wolf pack’s movements.
