An Artificial Pack is any group of animals that do not have a biological inter-relationship.

Notes

In wolf society, an Artificial Pack is a group of biologically disconnected wolves brought together artificially, either for the purpose of study, or as a way to lubricate the transition back into nature.[1]

In human society, artificial packs include friend groups, cultural groups, political groups, and so on.
