Our science educator will help you learn more about this iconic species of the North American wilderness.
A well-organized pack
Made up of a dominant pair and their young, a wolf pack is a highly organized social group.
The dominant pair maintains the hierarchy using many behaviors, postures, and facial expressions.
In fact, a dominant individual always stands above a subordinate, bares its teeth during conflicts, and moves with its tail held high. Conversely, a subordinate individual moves with its tail tucked between its legs.
Easily recognizable, our dominant pair is the one you will see eating first.
