It might surprise you but animals too show social interactions. They also sometimes hoard resources to the detriment of others. This too is a socially constructed shortage of a resource not a natural one.

But just like we (mostly) stopped just punching each other to resolve conflicts we could probably benefit from behaving differently, i.e. using different social strategies than animals to distribute natural resources
