I'm sure they watched other predators, too.

IIRC, one way lions hunt is to kinda surround, then one scares the prey
into the others.

Wolves do a combination of that and of running them down--taking turns
"herding."

I think the key might be cooperative hunting--it may have taken that
development, more than anything else, to switch them from small game to
larger.
