At first glance you may think the wolf bearing his teeth is about to tear his pack member apart however that is not the case at all. The submissive wolf began this interaction with the typical nipping under the chin and licking which is typical of submission to an alpha pack leader. Note the downward position of the tail on the submissive wolf. At this moment in time the alpha had had enough of the interaction and was sending this member of the pack off with a gentle reminder of who’s at the top of the pecking order.
