L. David Mech on the "Alpha" Wolf

L. David Mech is one of the world's foremost authorities on wild wolves, and has spent the better part of his life observing wolves in the wild. He is also partly responsible for introducing the term "alpha" into scientific literature, which then trickled down into dog training.
In this video he explains when it would be appropriate to use the term "alpha", and how scientists no longer refer to the breeding pair in a pack of wolves as the "alpha" male and female.
