Best Answer

Wolves have to pick alpha's to hold down fighting in a pack. If everyone stays in their place, there would be less fighting, and the wolves could work as a team, when fighting off another pack, or going hunting. The alpha would lead hunts, and that would help the pack catch more prey, if they stayed organized, and listened to their leader.

Determine who will be the Alpha and Omega of the pack?

Wolves determine who will be the Alpha and the Omega by fighting to the death. The wolves communicate by using body motions to pick the strongest wolves that may sometimes result in fights. After the wolves "discuss" who the strongest wolves are the battles begins. As I said it is the fight to the death which will end as a bloody and very brutal war. The "winner" becomes the Alpha. Now you probably wonder what the Omega is. There is more than one Omega in the pack. An Omega is considered the "low life" of the pack. The Alpha is considered the leader of the pack and the Omega wolves are just "followers" in a hope to survive. The Alpha won't stop being Alpha until he/she dies. When the Alpha dies the cycle restarts.

How do wolves get to alpha?

Usually, 2 wolves would fight for a female, and the winner would mate with her, and they would officially become the alpha's. A wolf can't randomly fight to become alpha, because not all of the wolves are suited for the packs needs. Also, the Beta wolves become the alpha's after one of the alpha's die, or get to old or injured to lead the pack anymore. It all depends on the packs needs! ;)
