Perhaps among wild animals, there is no leader more important and dangerous than the alpha wolf. Wolves, by themselves, are very scary, when the pack is led by the leader wolf, the fear of the wolf pack increases tenfold. The alpha wolf has long been a symbol of authority, intelligence and superior ability.
Wolves, by nature, are very clever animals in nature, almost no other species can compare in intelligence and cunning. That’s why the wolf has become a symbol of cunning and cunning.
In fact, wolves are often given bad qualities because their agility far exceeds that of other animals. The story Little Red Riding Hood typifies these thoughts. But in reality, living in a highly competitive wild environment, wolves are forced to adapt to survive and develop.
There are peoples who hate wolves, there are also peoples who worship wolves, wolves are sacred animals, their protectors. On the vast steppe, wolves are almost invincible warriors because of their courage, cunning, agility and ability to endure hunger and cold.
Inner Mongolia – where there were once very powerful wolf packs. The Mongols were good at fighting, elite, and conquered the world because they learned many qualities and ways of wolves. If the wolf king has a very important role in commanding his flock in battles, then Genghis Khan is also a similar character. Genghis Khan was like a wolf king of the Mongolian steppes. Thanks to the strength of their fellow men and the talent of their leaders, the Mongol army created such an illustrious prestige that people are still amazed today.
A lone wolf is dangerous, but when they stand in a commanded pack, the superiority of the species is doubled. The leader is the strongest, most cunning and courageous wolf. The alpha wolf may play the role of father, husband, or brother in the wolf family or the assembled wolf population.
As a leader, the alpha wolf plays a commanding role in attacks or movements. An attack by a pack of wolves controlled by the leader wolf will be extremely dangerous, there will be wolves blocking the way, wolves attacking and lying in wait, each wolf in the pack will be assigned tasks by the leader. suitable to your strengths and abilities. Wolf pack attacks rarely fail because the leader wolf plans carefully. If he is negligent, it can cost the lives of the entire pack.
People have analyzed the movement of a typical wolf pack in a normal environment:
The three wolves in the front (red compartment) are old or sick. These are the slow ones so they take the lead with the purpose of creating and maintaining movement speed for the wolves. The main goal is that no animal will be abandoned in a situation where the wolf pack is attacked.
The five animals in the group (circled in yellow) are the healthiest and best. Their job is to protect the front of the wolf pack, in case they are attacked.
The group in the middle is the group that is always protected in case of any attack.
The last group of 5 animals (circled in blue) are 5 healthy and good animals. Its task is to protect the back of the flock in a situation where there is a surprise attack from behind.
The last one – this is the LEADING one.It goes last to ensure that no member of the herd falls behind. It always goes last to keep the group always a united herd and moving in the same direction. It goes last so it can run quickly in any direction to protect the whole herd in the worst situation.
In more difficult journeys that require more bravery or health because even a small mistake can lead to disaster, for example through snow-covered forests, the alpha wolf will take the lead. . It found its way and outlined the most possible path, the whole pack of wolves followed the leader’s footsteps to reduce the difficulty of gliding across the snow. If the leader wolf makes a mistake, the whole pack will suffer the consequences!
Why is it possible to succeed in such a difficult area? Because the leader of that company is a real “leader wolf”.
A multi-talented and astute leader. With a sharp personality, he also chooses the best characters to work for him. A pack of wise wolves is led by an extremely cunning leader, success is inevitable.
The problem is that many people do not deserve to be leaders but they find every way to compete for that job. Greed and selfishness will lead to failure for yourself and others. We see countless cases of this in history and present life.
That’s not the case with wolves. Natural selection to elect the top animal gives us great lessons. The leader wolf must be the strongest and most strategic wolf. The whole herd will not consider it the leader if it cannot prove its ability.
6 qualities that determine the success or failure of wolves:
- Confident and full of bravery
- Tough and full of strength
- Sensitive senses
- Military orders call the herd
- Cunning tactics
- Persist
To become a leader, the wolf sometimes has to go through tough battles to receive recognition from its peers. And another thing I really like about wolves is that when the alpha is old and weak and can no longer take the position of leader, there will be another election to find a worthy successor. The pack leader does not hold that position until death if he is no longer able to command and control the pack. For their own survival, they also do not accept incompetent wolves as leaders.
