Wolf packs operate on dominance and submissiveness. Wolves that are bigger, stronger, more intelligent, and have faster reactions will be more dominant. The wolves decide who is dominant by small-scale, on-going interactions. That means if two wolves meet, they will decide who is dominant based on whether they stand up tall, lift up their tail, and so on. If the wolves can't decide who is dominant things will escalate - for instance they will start glaring with wide eyes, showing teeth, and finally fighting. Most interactions don't get this far. At the end of the fight, the loser is the individual who leaves the fight, by lowering its body, lowering ears, and looking sideways.

After many, many interactions like this, the most dominant wolf will be well known to the rest of the pack.

Can you change packs in Wolf Packs on facebook if you're the Alpha?

Yes, anyone in the pack can choose to abandon or switch packs. However, if you have switched packs in the last 3 days, you may not switch again until the three days have passed. This rule does not apply to abandoning your pack, which has no limit. If you choose to abandon your pack, you will become a lone wolf and will lose bonus strength points until you enter another pack. If you enter another pack you will be placed at the lowest ranking in the pack unless another pack member is in hibernation. I know this from nearly two years of experience.


Who is the wolf's captain?

All wolves do not really have a 'Captain', but packs of wolves have leaders. The leaders are the breeding pair and the two wolves who mate and rear their young. Usually in a wolf pack the leader is the founder of the pack(along with his/her mate). Sometimes other wolves challenge their leadership, and if they win become the new leader.
