How are wolf packs established?

Answer 1

A wolf pack is formed because two wolves decide to mate with each other, and form a pack. They find territory and claim it, sometimes they pick up stray wolves that do not have a mate, and the two mates will usually have pups. Those two are the "alphas" of the pack.

Added:

Alphas are a term no longer used generally in wolf behavioral studies as said above the wolf pack is, basically, a family. Alpha implies active struggles for dominance which is not really seen in packs of related animals with the wolves high degree of social structure.

Answer 2

Wolf packs are have an alpha male and female who typically dominate the other members of the particular gender. There is usually a clear pecking order after that, as follows:

• Alpha (First in command)
• Beta (Second in command)
• Delta (Third in command)
• Omega (Lowest Rank)

Answer 3

Wolfpacks are established according to a strict hierarchy, with a dominant male at the top and his mate not far behind. Usually this male and female are the only animals of the pack to breed. All of a pack's adults help to care for young pups by bringing them food and watching them while others hunt.

Answer 4

Wolves have a sort of Heirarchy, which means they have one leadership (Alpha male and Female), and have positions structured from highest to lowest (lowest being Omega).
