i guess beta is the 2nd top position in chimps? Betas are usually the ones that get picked up and bullied in wolf packs. Lowest of the low.

Beta's in the animal kingdom means 2nd in command

Alpha (ethology) - Wikipedia
Beta animals often act as second-in-command to the reigning alpha or alphas and will act as new alpha animals if an alpha dies or is otherwise no longer considered an alpha. In some species of birds, males pair up in twos when courting, the beta male aiding the alpha male. It has been found that the social context of the animals has a significant impact on courtship behavior and the overall reproductive success of that animal.[2]

Often but not always, theres a video floating around of a wolf pack attacking its beta because wolves use beta as a way to let frustration out.

Never mind ,i had it confuse with omega.

This shyts reads like a Game of Thrones episode...

Chimps Beat, Kill, And Eat The Former Leader Of Their Group In Brutal Attack
After a flurry of screams, teeth, and fur, the old leader lay beaten and dead. Members of the community turned on him, a male chimp known as Foudouko, in a rare example of lethal intragroup aggression. Reported in the journal Springer, Foudouko’s rise to the top, and then plunge to death, reads like something from a Shakespearean tragedy.

Thirteen years ago, a teenage Foudouko ruled the community of chimps at Fongoli in Senegal with an iron fist, maintaining the top spot as the alpha male. Supporting him during his tyrannical rein was the beta of the group, a male named Mamadou.

But an accident befell Mamadou in 2007, and after weeks of absence, he returned injured. Unable to maintain his position in the community due to his injuries, he slipped down the social ladder. This had a disastrous impact on Foudouko's position at the top, whose main ally now resided at the bottom of the pile. Foudouko was subsequently ousted by other males in the community.

Get caught lacking in the jungle brehpanzees...we don't do that in Harlem...:dame:

So they couldn't touch the alpha as long as the beta was around. The beta had a mysterious "accident" :jbhmm:

There was no accident. They had Mamadou lined up, sent the goons out, and gave him that work:birdman:

Had Foudouko stressed wondering what happened. Once his mans came back a shell of himself he knew his days were numbered:wow:
