What a wonderful set of responsibilities. <3

With great size comes great responsibility

I wonder, are they taking advantage, or is this genuinely the responsibility of the leader in their culture or system of governance?

Yes.

To govern, which is to say "to exercise continuous sovereign authority" :)

Assuming this is picking up where the movie left off the previous leader was an old man. So it could be the latter, but likely the former.

Going off of wolves irl it would be a mix of both. The "alphas" of a pack aren't usually determined by strength. They're literally just the mom and dad of the family unit. But sometimes a pack will lose those parents and then things become a bit of a clusterfuck.

For instance the most famous Yellowstone Wolf left the park with her pack and got shot. Her mate also got shot. So her other mate (yes she chose two) ended up bringing an outsider she-wolf into the fold (again, it's a family so it was either that or bang a daughter). But his daughter's didn't want the outsider around and forced her out. He tried again with a wolf already in a pack but according to the scientists that saw it happen it just resulted in that other pack's alpha giving him a non-violent no that he abided by. (It's legit Game of Thrones out there man)

Typically the pack ends up splitting into multiple attempts at packs (so trying to assign a pack name that lasts is basically impossible).

So in this case we've got an outsider female becoming head of a pack with no clear lead male. The males of that pack are gonna start courting her hard because unlike when dad dies and leaves mom behind they're ALL eligible bachelors.

But like most things in wolf society it's the female's decision. Who she chooses is who will get her pregnant and be the "alpha" male. Again though, it's more of a fatherly position and them "leading" is just them teaching. Which won't happen here until the pups start running. And as mentioned before, she's fully within her rights to choose multiple at once. Any male that doesn't get any will likely just dip out in search of a female who will take him.

I've been fascinated for a while by how similar wolves and humans are in many aspects. Could explain how we ended up teaming up and ended up with dogs.

Love the idea of Nava getting routinely gangbanged for pack morale, gotta say
