If you saw a pack of wolves walking across the top of a mountain, how could you tell which one was the alpha? And why? Am just curious how many people could answer this correctly.
Answers:
yep, it the position of the tail. The alpha always has his raised high.
normally the alpha is in front,if the others get out of line that one will put them back,that one eats first,alpha corrects the other like kids
Alpha males usually have both their tails and ears erect. Sometimes they're leading the pack and sometimes they aren't. The easiest way to tell is to observe every wolf and try to tell from the position of their ears and tail.
Wolf packs are lead by both an alpha male and female. Watching the wolves different body languages would be the most important clue. The dominant pair (alphas) will have a more confident posture such as holding their tail higher and standing taller. Another important clue would be if you happened to witness any scent marking (urination). Both the dominant male and female raise their legs while the subordinate males and females will squat.
