I know a lot of big cats have been known to hunt more than they can eat in the hope to hide their kill to eat later.

I've read this main article before somewhere a while ago. Thank you for the follow up wolf567. My, was I surprised to hear about the surplus killing a while back! I was nearly horrified. The follow up helped to clear the air. It seems like the wolves were doing their best to stock up for later. We humans have interfered with their plans by moving the carcasses. It would be like buying 10 chickens--more than anyone could eat at once--then have your neighbor judge you and take it all away.
This really allows for quite an interesting topic.
