Best Answer

If you mean the male head of the (in this case) herd, then you call it an "Alpha male".

CORRECT ANSWER:

Male elephants are called bulls. However, there is no male head of the herd. The head of a herd is always a female elephant, a cow.

Elephants are a matriarchal society, which means they are female centric.

How does a baby elephant survive?

They survive by living in their herd/pod/group or what ever you would wish to call it but I call it a family, anyways the baby will live with it's mother and it's family drinking from its mother. If it is a baby male elephant though the mother will care for it until it can eat/drink on it's own then the family will kick it out because they do NOT tolerate male elephants and the male will live on it's own.

What does alpha dog mean?

It means the leader of a wolf pack. Usually the alpha (leader) of a wolf pack is a male so they just call it an alpha male. Sometimes though, rarely, a she-wolf is known to be the alpha. An alpha male can also mean the male wolf who can produce pups, but that is usually the leader (the alpha male). I also think that the alpha she-wolf is the she-wolf who can bear pups, or the mate of the alpha (leader).
