In studies of social animals, the highest ranking individual is sometimes designated as the alpha. Alpha animals usually gain preferential access to food and other desirable items or activities, though the extent of this varies widely between species.
Alphas may gain preferential access to sex or mates; in some species, only alphas or an alpha pair reproduce.
Alphas may achieve their status by superior physical strength and aggression, or through social efforts and building alliances within the group. The individual with alpha status sometimes changes, often through a fight between the dominant and a subordinate animal.
Such fights may or may not be to the death. In some packs, an animal would kill their opponent to show how strong they are.
