(September 23, 2013 at 4:17 pm)Jiggerj Wrote: Within either a pack of wolves or lions, when animals that are low in the pecking order try to eat with the alphas, the alphas will snap at them or chase them off. Are the alphas teaching these subordinates that it is wrong to eat with them?

They are probably trying to keep them hungry and underfed so they are weaker and less likely to successfully breed ensuring that their (the Alpha's) DNA gets passed onto the next generation and not the subordinates.

Yay, evolution Great
