The Group Described?

There's a certain group wherein children are never quite certain of paternity, because the mothers mate with multiple males.  The group described is a matriarchy, where children will fight to the death to defend mama, frequently resulting in the wounding or death of the largely predatory males. Mama is the head.
 
 Can you guess who is the group described?
