Pack (canine)
Animals which typically predominate over others are associated with the term "alpha". Among pack-living wolves, alpha wolves are the genetic parents of most cubs in the pack. Such access to mating females creates strong selective pressure for intra-sex competition.
Lassen Pack
The Lassen Pack is California's only known wolf family first confirmed within the state in the fall of 2016. The breeding male of the Lassen Pack is CA-08M, son of OR-7 from Oregon's Rogue Pack. The Lassen Pack is only the second pack of grey wolves within California since the 1920s, the former being the Shasta Pack whose location is currently unknown.
