The whole pack combines when food in scarce in the harsher seasons. Their diet is mainly Muskox, Artic hares, Caribou and berries when prey is out of range. But their food mostly depends on what is trackable or weak enough to bring down. Generally the size of the pack will depend on the amount of food which is available to them.
