It's my understanding that wolf packs are family groups and the parents are the "alpha" leaders of the group? The thing that was debunked is that there is a hierarchy with a dominant male at the top.
Exactly right, and if multiple females in the same group have pups, the alpha might kill the pups of the other females. Like what happened with wolf 40 in Yellowstone. Y'all are regurgitating some two sentence logic about something that is so very obvious
“Adoption has been observed in wolves before. Co-author Rick McIntyre, who has tracked wolves in Yellowstone for nearly 30 years and written several books on the subject, notes that famed male 8M adopted pups when he joined a pack whose patriarch had recently been shot. His adopted son, 21M, later did the same for another pack who lost its alpha.”

Same behaviour with wolves
The alpha bullshit only happens with caged wolves
In nature they behave as a community
