However, sometimes changing up the dominance does not result in an immediate change of a wolf's rank. What happens there and what should I do instead? (I didn't just add to their dominance I made sure they had the highest dominance)

And I've seen some packs with the one or both of the Alphas lower than even some of the Omegas in terms of dominance, how does this work?

Thanks!

sometimes alphas can have the exact same dominance as other ranks, but they should be alphas if they are the highest dominance unless the higher dominance squirrels are kits.

do you have an example or screenshot of the ones you saw? o3o
