In a wolf pack what does a beta do?

Answer 1

The Beta is sort of like a second-in-command or a deputy. There is rarely two betas, often it is just one Beta. The Beta has the job of keeping the pack in order while the Alphas aren't around. When the Alphas return, they are no longer able to order around the pack. Hope this helped! ~Shadow Wolf

Answer 2

Gamma isn't officially a rank. Theres Alpha, Beta, and Omega, then the other wolves without a rank/title that make up the rest of the pack. I believe the Gamma is kind of like the Betas, though. They are the advisors for the Alphas and Betas, enforcing their rules/dominance and putting wolves in their place.

Answer 3

beta wolves are just like others. they eat, howl, growl, sleep, protect, catch food. the only difference is the beta wolves are more fierce. they catch food by themselves but they still live in the pack. they catch food when no on is looking so the other wolves wont try to eat their food. so even though they live in a pack they are still loners.

Answer 4

The alpha wolves are the leaders of the entire pack, they are the parents. They are the oldest members and have the most experience with hunting, and defending.

Answer 5

The beta is a male and female wolf that are second in command over the pack, second in command after the Alfas.

Answer 6

know one really knows. but its kinda like second in command.

Answer 7

The Gamma wolf in a wolf pack often acts as an adviser for the Alpha and the Beta wolves. The Gamma might also act as the defender of the pack.

Answer 8
