"The alpha wolf is a figure that looms large in our imagination. The
notion of a supreme pack leader who fought his way to dominance and
reigns superior to the other wolves in his pack informs both our fiction
and is how many people understand wolf behavior. But the alpha wolf
doesn't exist—at least not in the wild."
