As reported by Faunatis, the wolf is a social animal that adheres to the principles of hierarchy and leadership. The principle of hierarchy is a rule that emphasizes leadership from top to bottom

Some living creatures that have complex social structures usually apply a hierarchical system. Social groups of wolves always live in large families with around 20 individuals in each group. So it is not surprising that they apply this hierarchical system as long as they still have each other.

Unlike other cat breeds, wolves are animals that are very difficult to tame. Space and food patterns are very different from dogs, which is the main reason why wolves cannot be tamed or even kept.

They will only obey Alpha or Beta, the term for the leader in the wolf pack. In other words, they only obey their leaders.

They usually prefer death rather than having to submit to anyone other than their leader. That’s why wolves have never been used as circus animals.

Although based on research, this animal, which is often called wild, is actually shy and is always wary when dealing with humans.

The hierarchy system itself can persist in wolf packs because wolves are monogamous animals or only have one partner for their entire life.

Reporting from Live Science, the monogamous method carried out by wolves is one of the keys to the survival of the species in the evolutionary process.
