Ottway mentions that the "Alpha male" challenges another wolf for dominance. The theory of the Alpha Male has been a proven myth, although still prevalent in our language as being fact. Animal Behaviourist, Schenkel studied two packs of wolves living in captivity and came up with the Alpha Male theory without studying wild wolves. His studies remained the primary resource on wolf behaviour for decades. More extensive studies have found that wolves live in families: two parents along with their younger cubs. Wolves do not have an innate sense of rank; they are not born leaders or born followers. No wolf has "won" a role as leader of the pack; instead, the parents assert dominance over the offspring by virtue of being the parents.
