Explanation

The lead wolf in a pack is called the 'alpha' wolf. This terminology comes from studies of wolf social hierarchy, though modern research has shown that wolf packs are typically family units led by parents rather than dominance-based hierarchies. The term 'alpha' is still widely used in popular culture to denote leadership.
