If you watch wolves.it’s hard to escape the conclusion that perhaps no two species are more alike behaviorally than wolves and human. Living as we do in families,we can easily recognize the social structures and status search in wolf packs.No wonder Native Americans recognized in wolves a sibling spirit.And no wonder human males often face pressure to measure up as “alpha” males—to “wolf up,” as it were.The term alpha male indicates a man who at every moment demonstrates that he’s in control in the home and who can become aggressive. This alpha male stereotype comes from a misunderstanding of the real thing.By observing wolves in free-living packs in Yellowstone National Park,I’ve seen that the leadership of the ranking male is not forced,not domineering,and not aggressive to those on his team.“The main characteristic of an alpha male wolf,” the experienced wolf researcher Rick McIntyre told me as we were watching gray wolves,“is a quiet confidence,quiet self-assurance.You know what you need to do; you know what’s best for your pack.You lead by example.You’re very comfortable with that.You have a calming effect.” The point is,alpha males are not aggressive.They don’t need to be.“Think of an emotionally secure man or a great champion.Whatever he needed to prove is already proven,” he said. There is an evolutionary logic to it.“Imagine two wolf packs,or two human tribes,” McIntyre said.“Which is more likely to survive and reproduce: the one whose members are more cooperative,more sharing,less violent with one another,or the group whose members are beating each other up and competing with one another?” Thus,an alpha male may be a major player in a successful hunt,but after the takedown of the prey（猎物）,he may step away and sleep until his pack has eaten and is full. McIntyre has spent 20 years watching and studying wolves in Yellowstone for the National Park Service.He rises early,uses radio telemetry to pinpoint the location of a pack via a radio-collared pack member,then heads out with his spotting scope to observe the animals,keeping careful notes of their activities. In all that time,he has rarely seen an alpha male act aggressively toward the pack’s other members.They are his family—his mate,offspring (both biological and adopted),and maybe a sibling. This does not mean that alpha males are not tough when they need to be.One famous wolf in Yellowstone whose radio collar number,21,became his name,was considered a “super wolf” by the people who closely observed the arc of his life.He was fierce in defense of family and apparently never lost a fight with a rival pack.Yet within his own pack,one of his favorite things was to wrestle with little pups. “And what he really loved to do was to pretend to lose.He just got a huge kick out of it,” McIntyre said. One year,a pup was a bit sickly.The other pups seemed to be afraid of him and wouldn’t play with him.Once,after delivering food for the small pups,21 stood looking around for something.Soon he started wagging his tail.He’d been looking for the sickly little pup,and he went over just to hang out with him for a while. Of all McIntyre’s stories about the super wolf,that’s his favorite.Strength impresses us.But kindness is what we remember best.
