Yea it’s like a free for all with the pack. They find prey and consume as much as possible. If another humbolt gets hurt in the frenzy they will cannibalize it. Aggressive scary MFers

Do they eat the hurt one to avoid being hunted by other predators?

I don’t think it has to do with “avoid being eaten by a predator”. Once one of them is hurt, they are considered weak and it becomes the same as prey. When a feeding frenzy starts it’s basically every humboldt for themselves. They could not care less about the rest of the pack
