Labeling a high-ranking wolf alpha emphasizes its rank in a dominance hierarchy. However, in natural wolf packs, the alpha male or female are merely the breeding animals, the parents of the pack, and dominance contests with other wolves are rare, if they exist at all. During my 13 summers observing the Ellesmere Island pack, I saw none.

Thus, calling a wolf an alpha is usually no more appropriate than referring to a human parent or a doe deer as an alpha. Any parent is dominant to its young offspring, so “alpha” adds no information. Why not refer to an alpha female as the female parent, the breeding female, the matriarch, or simply the mother? Such a designation emphasizes not the animal’s dominant status, which is trivial information, but its role as pack progenitor, which is critical information.

From “Alpha Status, Dominance, and Division of Labor in Wolf Packs,” on the misconception of the ‘alpha wolf.’ This paper came out in 1999.

I feel like Garak would almost be like a half-wetsuit kind of guy. Something practical like the insulation would help him stay in the water longer. I wouldn’t say he’s more modest than Dukat or any other person just a trifle more classy.

Ooo I never thought about a wet suit before. But the down side to that is the restriction in mobility is pretty significant even at half length. Although the upside is the extra warmth retained (and scuba diving in a pinch I suppose? haha).

Also I did like a 5 second color edit of that other bathing suit. It think Garak is required to have a water melon version of everything in his wardrobe.
