Life in a pack does not only bring advantages, but also conflicts with themselves. Two puppies are fighting over a bone. They growl at each other angrily, bared their teeth and soon clashed. A wild brawl begins, where everyone tries, pushing the other away with his body and at the same time catching him somewhere on his fur with his teeth. Has one of the little wolves bitten once, he shakes his head wildly, to really hurt the other. But the fur of the puppies is thick, their teeth and muscles are still weak, and therefore not much happens. Maybe the other one will cry out and defend himself furiously. But soon the two let go of each other and pretend, as if nothing had happened. Seconds later, they can eat peacefully next to each other or play with each other.
Fights between the older wolves are much more serious, but also less often. Because every fight between adult animals carries the risk of injury and animals can, who must be physically fit for hunting, not afford. Any injury can result from this alone, that no prey can be captured, deadly effect. The opponents therefore usually limit themselves to growling and threatening. You impress, plays up, sometimes snaps towards opponents, but don't bite hard. The louder the spectacle, the more harmless the argument. Because a real attack is immediately reacted to with violent resistance.
As a result, most pack fights strike a balance between aggression and fear, Show and serious. In addition, the hierarchy between the animals prevents, that everyone fights with everyone. Should a dispute arise, gives in to the inferior, submits and all is well. Even seniors know their limitations, which he must not exceed. Because if he should push the lower rank too hard on the ground or constantly want to take food away from him, is immediately protested and bitten back.
