In a wolf pack family

In nature, as long as there is a group of living creatures, then the probability is that there will be a hierarchy. The gathering of creatures represents the creation of a "small society", and for every type of group-living creature, the hierarchy is not only a necessary tool to regulate the group, but also the best standard to show their power.

As a member of pack animals, wolves have also established a strict internal hierarchy, and the phenomenon of "three, six, nine, etc." also exists within the wolf pack.

However, under the oppression of this system, the situation of the lower wolf packs is very miserable. They cannot obtain their power and even the right to mate, so how do the low-level wolves reproduce their offspring?

Hierarchy in the wolf pack

The principle that nature has always upheld is "the weak are stronger than the strong", and the more capable creatures can gain a higher status in nature. Therefore, not only do people have three, six, or nine classes, in fact, in nature, wolves also have an extremely strict hierarchy within the pack.

As pack animals, wolves often appear in the wild in pairs. Whether they are hunting for prey or dealing with opponents, wolves will generally form a small group and act together.

Of course, it is also because wolves often act together that their combat power is greatly enhanced and they become "one of the dominant animals" in the natural world.

In a wolf family, they usually form a pack with three to seven wolves, so that the number of the team will not look weak and the pack will not look too cumbersome at the same time. Where there is a pack, there is bound to be struggling, and there is also a hierarchy.

The wolf family, they have a strict hierarchy, and there are three levels within the wolf pack, and the treatment enjoyed by the wolves will be very different for each difference in level.

First of all, the wolf pack will elect the "head wolf" as the leader of the team, and the head wolf is also the first rank in the team. The head wolf is often highly respected in the wolf pack and also enjoys the highest power, which is commonly known as the "wolf king".

Whether they can become the wolf king is generally determined by their strength. Of course, within the wolf pack, the principle of absolute "gender equality" is respected, and the head wolf can be either female or male, and everything is measured by strength. As long as they are strong enough, they can become the unique head wolf leader of the wolf pack.

Below the head wolf is the B wolf, which is the second rank of the wolf pack. Although it is not as powerful as the head wolf, the B wolf also enjoys higher power in the group.

However, since no one is willing to submit to the head wolf, B wolves, as the second in command, are also the most ambitious members of the team, and they will usually wait for the opportunity to take the position of the head wolf, and once the head wolf is injured, then B wolves will wait for the opportunity to become the new generation leader of the team.

Below the B wolf is the Ohio wolf, which is at the lowest position in the team. They can only act as "minions" of the head wolf and B wolf and obediently follow the command of the upper level.

The life of the wolves in the pack is not easy, and they often become the objects of venting for the head wolf or the B wolf. In daily life, the wolves do the most work but enjoy the worst treatment, and they can't even control their mating rights.

How does the Ohio wolf get the right to mate?

As creatures in the natural world, wolves naturally have to reproduce to prolong their offspring. However, due to the hierarchical system, the Ohio wolves and even the B wolves in a wolf pack do not deserve to enjoy mating rights.

In a wolf pack, only the head wolf can enjoy the beautiful life of "one husband and one wife". Then the question arises, how can the bottom wolves in the wolf pack get the mating right?

The first way is to seize the position of the head wolf. Since they cannot get the mating right at the bottom, the bottom wolves will generally choose to fight to the death and challenge the head wolf.

If the challenge is successful, then the wolf can not only get the coveted mating right but also become the new generation of wolf kings.

However, this method of challenging the wolf king is undoubtedly very dangerous for the bottom wolves, and the reason why the head wolves can become the head wolves is that they have the strongest body and the bravest fighting power. If the bottom wolves challenged the head wolves, they would undoubtedly hit the stone with an egg, and the outcome would be death or injury.

The second way is to leave the wolf pack. Adhering to the principle of "if you can't beat them, you can escape", if the bottom wolves can't beat the head wolf and want to get the mating right, the best way is to leave home.

After leaving the original wolf pack, the bottom wolves will become new individuals, and there will be no hierarchy in them so that the bottom wolves can go to the outside world to form their own small families.

But it is easier said than done, and it is undoubtedly a kind of disguised suicide for the wolves to leave the pack. After losing the shelter of the pack, the single wolf will hardly be able to survive alone in the wild.

According to statistics, the proportion of lone wolves that can leave the pack voluntarily only accounts for 15% of the total number of wolves, and the number of lone wolves that can successfully survive in the wild is very few. Thus, it can be seen that most of the bottom wolves, would rather not have children than leave their wolf packs.

Our nature itself is a world of the weak and the strong, and everything is even more so when it is free from the constraints of civilization. So the bottom wolves can only accept their fate.

If they want to gain respect in the wolf pack, the only way is to improve their strength and become the head wolf of the pack. Otherwise, the bottom wolves would probably be unable to carry out their reproductive activities and form their own small families for the rest of their lives.
