Alphas(2)
Each pack has its leaders the Alpha pair. The Alpha pair submit to no one and uphold the peace and law within the pack by constantly keeping aware of the social status of each wolf. The Alpha also keeps charge of the territory,ensuring no one intrudes. Alpha's express their feelings through dominate postures such as raising their tail high like a dominate flag, ears always locked ahead, eyes keenly aware of the surroundings. Alpha's also force other wolves into submisson, keeping peace within the pack. Without the Alpha;s there wouldn't be a pack. There would be no leadership and no one to uphold the rules and enforce them. The Alpha ensures the pack is safe at all times and upholds the law and order. Wolves submitt on occasion to the Alpha, showing respect and affection to the Alpha, considering a wolf pack is a nightly knit group of family members (and in our case friends as well).
Betas(2)
The beta is naturally known as the second rank or second in command should something happen to the alpha(s). If something where to occur or happen to the alpha(s) such as illness/death/weakness then the beta(s) would step in. The beta is a strong natural leader, the right paw of the alpha willing to servewhere needed and do what he/she can for the pack, to ensure a better home and environment for all.
Elders(Any)Male or Female elder is wolf of age (min 5yrs old) and experienced,and can give advice to the Alpha's and or Beta's, there opinions are thought of highly, and seeing their experience as an old wolf. There eperience helps to teach the Young and the old alike. The elder is a wise and trustworthy wolf. The elders teach of their experiences of their life, their wisdom, and teach the next generation. They were involed in not only advising adults but also were the ones to educate the children/young. Elders teach the young in the pack customs so they get used to the life ahead of them. In this manner the elders hope to teach wisdom and understanding to the children/young as well as important skills such as hunting this is important for their pack society when they get older to know of their customs. An elder is knowledgeable and wise.
Guardians(2)
They are the wolves within the pack that execute the same principals as the scout. But the Guardians are more inclined to be with the pack and protecting the pack boundaries, staying with the pack in time of need or suspicious activities. The Guardians of the pack usually scout out the territory but not far from the pack. Guardian wolves show a keen spirit to protect the pack and a strict attitudeand seriousness that carries to the pack, to help keep it's unity. The guardians are responsible for informing the Alpha(s) and/or Beta(s) should something new arise, a new scent, problem etc. The Guardians are respected within the pack for their bravery and chivalry to guard the home in which they love and would defend with honor and pride.
Scouts(2)
The Scouts are the wolves who look out for the pack and well being. He/She is responsible to keep strangers in check, ensure there are no wolves who intend to cause harm to the pack and wellbeing of the pack. The scout is
incharge to meet the new wolves if the Alpha(s) or Beta(s) are not present. Scouts are also much like Guardians. They ensure the pack is safe from other intruders. They as well go out and scout the territory ensuring there's not a change, perhaps ensure that no other outside wolves have marked over boundaries etc. Scouts are familar with neighboring packs, and are to report any changes with that pack to the Alpha(s)/Beta(s).
Hunters(2Leaders4Regular)
Wolves kill only to eat- to survive. Because wolves usually hunt for large animals, (although wolves are opportunistic and will eat smaller prey) they work together to catch their prey. Wolves will eat a healthy strong animal if they can catch it.(Wolves need an average of three to ten pounds of meat each day). After prey is detected, wolves may split
up to search through brush, travel on ridge tops searching for the prey below, or test herds looking for signs of weakness. The lead hunters go on ahead and can enlist wolves at their side to determine the best means of attack, start a hunt, teach the young essential hunting skills and be a mentor to their packmates.
Caretakers(1LeaderAnd2Regular)
The head caretaker also known as the "Shaman" are looked upon as being a medicine healer. Shamans usually beings males where individuals who could call upon the spirits to help them perscribe healing herbs for sickness and injured members of the society. The caretaker of a pack are the wolves who pledge their heart and soul to care for the well being of other wolves and the pack. Should a wolf become injured in anyway, the caretaker ensures that the wolf is healed and taken care fo properly. Caretakers tend to keep the pack in a healthy state.
