elaxx (01/05/2016) [-] I can hardly believe they have that level of communicating. I can hardly believe such behavior would even be a part of their instincts. And how would the alpha even control the direction from the back? One woof - to the right, two woofs - to the left? What if the old ones have bad hearing? Do they chain-woof to the front?
Here's the thing; besides humans wolves are the greatest pack hunters in the world. They are incredibly smart. They were the only thing that really posed a threat to early humans. I mean like an actual threat to the pack of humans not one guy got attacked by a lion threat. There is a reason why we formed a mutually beneficial relationship.
it's hardly complex military tactics
the older just leads the way (they've traveled the most anyway) and the alpha barks when it's time to hunt
if he wants to change direction he just runs to the front
