A friend of ours works in wolf conservation. If you ever want to wind her up and set her off, you just have to mention that photo and the thousands of different ways that people wrongly apply theories to it. You can see the vein bulge on her forehead!
Edit: Here's the original (accurate) caption by the photographer. Makes the fact so many weird men use it as proof of alpha male theory all the funnier.
A massive pack of 25 timberwolves hunting bison on the Arctic circle in northern Canada. In mid-winter in Wood Buffalo National Park temperatures hover around -40°C. The wolf pack, led by the alpha female, travel single-file through the deep snow to save energy. The size of the pack is a sign of how rich their prey base is during winter when the bison are more restricted by poor feeding and deep snow.
