Aggressive, Dominant

This little fellow is the dominant one in the pack of eight alpaca males. No one else eats until he allows them to do so. He swings his head to and fro, and will use any tactic to maintain his dominant position, including spitting, biting, and screeching a loud noise that sounds like he is choking, which he probably is.

Guess that pack leader stuff works with any group.

most pack, herd, or social animals have alpha males and/or females. Sadly in goes to the most aggressive, not necessarily the strongest or smartest.
