"During the year they live in small familiar groups" is wrong, bad English and a misunderstanding of the Italian word "familiare" which means in this context "family". The correct English phrase should be "During the year they live in small family groups"
I think "small family groups" would make more sense: http://www.wordreference.com/iten/familiare
It's very context sensitive; I would expect to hear something like this on a nature show.
Why does one adjective go before gruppi and another one after? Why not both together?

I read somewhere recently that when you have two adjectives for a single noun, you place one before and one after the noun.
I answered with "familiari gruppi piccoli" and it was marked as wrong. Why does the ordering have to be "piccoli gruppi familiari"? Didn't think the ordering would matter here.
