Kira Cassidy is a researcher at the Yellowstone Wolf Project.
Her focus is on the social lives of wolves.
In recent years, she's observed the crucial role an alpha female plays in the pack.
We all bring our own kind of lens to our work. and I think, uh, in the early years,
because it was a pretty male-dominated field in carnivore biology,
they were pretty focused on what the male was doing.
