Alphas: There is an Alpha Male and an Alpha Female in a pack. Usually, they are mates. These two are the only ones who are aloud to mate and have pups in the pack, unless they give permission to another two wolves in their pack to mate. These wolves are respected by all the pack and the pack will always follow their orders.
Beta: There is usually only one Beta, but sometimes, quite rarely actually, there may be two. A Beta is like second-in-command or a deputy. The Beta gives the orders when the Alphas aren't around, but as soon as the Alphas return, the Beta is not in charge. The Beta is near the top of the wolf pack, but still highly respects the Alphas. Usually, the Beta will find a mate, and run off to have pups with him/her and start their own pack. Or the Beta will wait and take on the role of Alpha of his/her current pack.
Delta: Not much to say about the Delta except that they are training to become the Beta.
Wolves: Then there are just the pack members. These members have no rank in the pack really and they all respect the Alphas and do what they are told.
Omega: At the bottom of the pack is the Omega. This wolf usually becomes the Omega because they did something wrong or bad. The Omega is treated with no respect at all and usually they have no friends within the pack. They do work and chores and are bossed around by everyone.
alpha beta and omega are the three key ranks
A wolf pack.
Wolf pack ranks influence their behavior when traveling together by establishing a hierarchy that determines leadership and decision-making. The alpha wolf leads the pack, followed by beta wolves and lower-ranking members. This structure helps maintain order, coordinate movements, and ensure the pack's safety and efficiency while traveling.
The lowest ranking wolf is called the omega wolf.
A Wolf pack is usually called well a wolf pack... It is very difficult to call it anyother name because, the pride of lions,herd of elephants, etc:
The lone wolf is a wolf without a pack. Its travels in the slithers of land inbetween pack territories, and if often very low ranked if it joins a pack.
It is called a pack
I have always called them pack mates! :) Hope this helps! -Koshi the wolf
Lone Wolf. Not being sarcastic
A male wolf is called a "dog" or "wolf," while a female wolf is referred to as a "bitch." In a pack, the dominant male and female are often called the alpha male and alpha female. Together, they typically lead the pack and are the primary breeders.
A group of hunting wolves is called a wolf pack. They also live in a pack.
The father of wolf pups is typically the alpha male of the wolf pack. Only the alpha male and alpha female breed within a pack of wolves.
