How do non-alpha wolves get along with each other?

Question

Do they also play the dominance game amongst themselves, trying to be alpha to each other, or do they get along as equals?

Answer 1

a transverse wave can manipulate it.

Answer 2

All wolves in a pack have rank - there is a dominance heirarchy with no equals. The alpha male and female lead the pack, and are the only ones to breed. The male is usually, but not always, the more dominant of the two, and as such is the ultimate pack leader. Below the alphas is a beta wolf, dominant to all other members of the pack, subordinate only to the alphas. Then come mid-ranked wolves, whose status is fluid - for example, one might be dominant over another at all times except when feeding, when it submits to the other. At the bottom of the heap is the omega wolf, the lowest-ranked individual, who submits to all other members of the pack.

Wolves are intensely social animals, and maintain their heirarchy using body language and facial expressions in displays of dominance and submission. A dominant wolf will stand tall, holding its tail high and head up, with ears pricked. A submissive wolf holds its body low, with tail tucked between the hind legs and ears flattened. As a gesture of complete submission, it will roll over on its back, exposing its vulnerable underside. These displays keep order in the pack, letting everyone know where they stand in relation to the others without the need for physical conflict.

Dominance among wolves is more about strength of character than strength of body. Being large and strong does not mean a wolf will have a high rank - in one pack I studied, the omega wolf was the largest in the pack. He simply had a very timid and yielding personality. Dominant wolves will be those which are confident and assertive, regardless of their size - a small confident wolf easily dominantes a large timid one.
