I'll admit I'm pretty ignorant about wolves, so I am seeking input from our Northern Hemisphere members,

Wolves live in packs and roam large territories.
There is an alpha male and female. They eat first. I'm guessing another wolf may succeed to becoming an alpha by fighting the boss and winning.
Wolves are very social animals within their pack.
Wolves are successful by hunting as a pack.
Generally wolves are not a threat to adult humans. Hunger might be a factor in human attacks.

Dogs care derived from wolves, or other dog like species of pre history. Perhaps several different species, interbred over the eons.

Now I have a question. Proper socialised domestic dog puppies are socialised to other humans and dogs from a young age. Going to a dog park, there are next to no dog fights. "Bad"dogs are not permitted. The dogs just greet each other, sniff each other, run and play, or go off on their own way, sniffing and pissibg.

Do wolf packs fight each other when they cross paths on territories? Ordo they socialise? Territory prey competition of carnivore species usually means violent competition.

Wolves of course kill and eat domestic dogs.

Dingoes? I know very little about dingo behaviour.
