They are able to comprehend situations with a high level of intellegence, which is one reason people like to hunt them, which in my opinion is inhumane. In terms of their lifestyle, they are mostly independent, and they usually only live with breeding mates, maybe a litter mate, their kits, or a mixture of the bunch.
