Cooperative hunting enables predators to prey on larger animals, have greater endurance, or are faster than would otherwise be possible.

Group foraging has been demonstrated in several species to reduce the risk of the foragers falling prey to other animals.

For example:

Say you're going to hunt two bears, and they get the jump on you if you had a group you would have a higher chance of survival.
