There is no such thing as an " alpha " in a wolf pack. An early study that coined the term "alpha wolf" had only observed unrelated adult wolves living in captivity. In the wild, wolf packs operate like families: parents are in charge until the young grow up and start their own families, and younger wolves do not overthrow an "alpha" to become the new leader. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%5Fof%5Fcommon%5Fmisconceptions%5Fabout%5Fscience,%5Ftechnology,%5Fand%5Fmathematics#Mammals
