packs are based on a leadership hierarchy. The dominant male (alpha
male) and dominant female (alpha female) are at the head of this
society. They can be identified by their erect posture, with their ears
and tails held high. The alpha male and female have definite
responsibilities in maintaining order in their pack. The alpha male is
usually the only male to breed and it is partly his job to make sure
that no other males attempt to breed with the alpha female. He is also
the center of activities such as pre-hunting rallies, pack ceremonies,
bonding activities, and feeding. The alpha female is also usually the
only female to breed. Her most important responsibility is choosing a
den site but she also shares the responsibilities of the male. Since
she controls mating in the pack, her actions determine the future
genetic makeup of the pack. The breeding season can ultimately fail if
she chooses a poor den site, in an area of low prey density. During the
breeding season all of the pack’s activities are based around the alpha
female.
A subdominant wolf can be identified in the pack through its body language as well. Subdominant wolves will lower its body, tuck its tail, and pull its ears back when confronting a wolf of higher standing. At the bottom of the hierarchy is the omega wolf. This wolf can be either male or female. This wolf is used as an outlet for aggression for the rest of the wolves, especially the alpha. The alpha wolf will decide if and when other wolves are allowed to eat. The omega wolf usually goes last and must pick over what everyone else has taken. The omega also initiates play. Within the hierarchy, younger individuals are constantly trying to better their status. When a new alpha male takes charge, it occurs very rapidly. The old alpha male is still treated with respect by the other subdominants. It has been suggested that the dominance hierarchies serve to maintain order and conserve energy within the pack by reducing aggression. Basically it prevents a fight each time a wolf contests something.  |
~ I Am Wolf ~
I am wolf, I am one of a kind
I have been here since ancient time
Wakan Tanka Blesses me to be
My kind will always run wild and free
It is my nature to avoid you, I am human shy
You hunt me from helicopters across the sky
Then you shoot at me as I try to flee ... Why?
Why does your kind wish my species to die?
We wolves run together in a family pack
Always guarding ourselves against attack
I do not attack your home or farm
I only attack when you intend wolf harm
Wolf has no markets or stores for food supply
We hunt the forests and where open fields lie
You speak and spread your untrue words
That we attack your live stock and herds
Why does man wish to kill wolf by his lying?
We only take lives of old, weak and already dying
You hunt and kill for sport and greed
We only hunt when our families have need
You place animal head trophies upon your wall
to make your egos walk vain and tall
Wolf needs no trophies for others to see
We only wish to live and preserve our family ...
We mate for life and survival just as you ...
We grieve for our lost ones same as you do
Why can we not share a new dawn ....
Let me be free to howl the moon my song
Loyalty and courage shines from my eyes
I am spirit of the wild that never dies
I am brother wolf, asehi ... I am he
I will always run the winds free ...
