Wolves were thought to make strict hierarchies but it was debunked. In nature they work more like family - a nonstrict hierarchy.

Wolf packs work like a family because they are families. For some reason people used to believe that packs were groups of wolves from different families, but that is not the case. Maybe because feral dogs will form large packs that are not from the same families and they assumed wolves did the same thing.
