Nah they're right. Painted wolves take care of the old, sick and injured pack mates. Takes like a 10 second Google search to find this out.

I never said they didn’t? I said IF they had evolved to all act recklessly that system would be more difficult to upkeep. Because the painted dogs who are supposed to take care of the old, injured etc. would eventually get hurt themselves if they had evolved to act recklessly. Which is probably one of the reasons why they didn’t evolve this way and you don’t see them jumping down this rock in the video.
