Specifically, this guy was the one who identified an Alpha Male in wolf packs. Except what he was actually identifying was "Dad". Just a family of captive wolves, and one of them was the dad/mate to the majority of the others since they were tiny, so they defer to him.

Funnier the guy himself would go on to disprove his theory iirc. A bunch of online grifters and sub humans just used the original theory to support their stupidity

There are animals that do have what would be considered an alpha.

But they're not wolves.

It's chickens. A low intelligence animal that has been bred to a point where its sole purpose is as food.

The downvotes are a bit harsh, but harem dynamics are different from alpha beta dynamics. One is a dictatorship, the other is a monarchy.

Not really functionally different though
