This is a dangerous and demeaning concept. Scientists no longer routinely use the term alpha even when speaking of wolves. They say “breeding male” and “breeding female” or “father and mother.” They realize that the term alpha, as misappropriated, implies that the individual fought to obtain dominance, an assumption that simply isn’t true. David Mech, arguably the world’s leading expert on wolf behavior, said in his article “Whatever Happened to the Term Alpha Wolf,”

Rather than viewing a wolf pack as a group of animals organized with a “top dog” that fought its way to the top, or a male-female pair of such aggressive wolves, science has come to understand that most wolf packs are merely family groups formed exactly the same way as human families are formed.
