are there body language differences in different packs of wolves?

Question

or do all wolves everywhere always have the same body language?

Answer 1

There are always regional differences in animal behavior; in songs , calls and most certainly variation in the body language of differing wolf packs. An Alaskan pack has a slight variation in submissive posturing from a Minnesotan pack. The tail tuck is more pronounced and held flatter to the stomach in most Minnesotan wolves than Alaskan, on average. The analogy is the different display rules that exist among humans.

Answer 2

The main difference in wolf societies v lion societies is the structure. In wolf packs there is an alpha male and an alpha female, those two are the only ones that can mate and often mate for life. The alpha male governs the male hierarchy and the alpha female governs the female hierarchy. They lead as a pair. Alpha wolves are not bigger, stronger, faster or better in any way they just have certain dominant personality qualities that make them born leaders. They become alpha by finding a mate and establishing a territory. Their pups are their subordinates and occasionally other relatives (often siblings) are in the pack and are subordinate because they were subordinate in their natal (birth) pack. Wolves are all about family and conflict within the pack rarely ends in bloodshed. The alpha male lion is usually the strongest male that fights off other challengers and defends a territory. The females in the pride within this territory become his mates. Occasionally, two or more brother lions share a territory. The lion becomes "alpha" (I don't think the term is used in lions) by fighting and or killing another male and usually all of his offspring and mating with his females. In lions it's all about biggest, strongest, most aggressive. Usually a male lion can defend his territory until he is too old then a newcomer takes over.

Answer 3

I don't know of any study being done were wolfs from far off areas are introduced for study porpoises (I fear the results might be a bit messy)
To my eye the wolfs I've encountered seem similar, But there probably quite a bit more in touch with the body language than a outsider like me.
Could make for an interesting study?

Answer 4

Over all body language is the same. I'm not aware of any reported differences in wolf behavior. It's instinctual though, that's why there aren't differences. You can see much of the same behavior in a dog even though they're genetically and socially further away from wolves.

Answer 5

no they are not just like us they each have there own personality's with wolfs their are some similarities between different packs allot of there body language depends on there envoirment and there diet ,one thing all wolfs do have in common is they only take one mate for life, in a pack of 7 having 4 females and 3 males etc, there is one lead dog male he is the only one able to breed with all four females yet he allows the others two pair with a female once the dominate female has been determined she pairs with the lead male.

Answer 6

Yes, although it is not always noticable except to other wolves....or maybe to those who have studied them for awhile. Wolves are one of the most intelligent of the canine family.
