The dynamics of a prey–predator system with foraging facilitation among predators are investigated. The analysis involves the computation of many semi-algebraic systems of large degrees. We apply the pseudo-division reduction, real-root isolation technique and complete discrimination system of polynomial to obtain the parameter conditions for the exact number of equilibria and their qualitative properties as well as do a complete investigation of bifurcations including saddle-node, transcritical, pitchfork, Hopf and Bogdanov–Takens bifurcations. Moreover, numerical simulations are presented to support our theoretical results.
