Also, in case anyone is curious, the "Alpha" wolf thing, while believed true at the time of publication, is flawed science:
The 1947 paper that drew conclusions about wolf hierarchies was describing two wolf packs in captivity. The study specimens were unrelated animals who'd been brought together at a Swiss zoo, where they shared an enclosure measuring 2,153 square feet (200 square meters).
Unlike their counterparts at the Swiss zoo, natural wolf packs mainly consist of genetic relatives. They also take up way more space, patrolling territories of 1,000 square miles (2,590 square kilometers) or larger.
And the term 'alpha' isn't really accurate when describing most of the leaders of wolf packs. Because the term implies that the wolves fought and competed strongly to get to the top of the pack. In actuality, the way they get there is by mating with a member of the opposite sex, producing a bunch of offspring which are the rest of the pack, and becoming the natural leaders that way. Just like with a pair of humans producing a family.
