There are many things we learn as we grow up that just aren’t true. They aren’t necessarily taught in schools or laid out as blatant lies but little bits of misleading information we pick up on—misconceptions we all share. We’re here today to debunk common beliefs that are misconceptions. What you do with this information is up to you, but it might be a good idea to pass this knowledge on to others!
#1: Alpha Hierarchy Isn’t Real
Alpha culture is a prevalent misconception, so much so that there are thousands of books written and hundreds of movies made based on the concept. The truth is that wolves don’t battle for dominance of the pack. Instead, they throw down over slights and plans. I read a lot of shifter romance, and this breaks my heart just a little bit.
Still, it’s really neat that they run their packs like giant families. They’re a true community! Side note: Wolves are incredibly intelligent even though they don’t perform well on the intelligence tests humans have given them. This is because they don’t care to impress us, so they don’t jump through proverbial hoops.
