You’ll often hear the term “alpha male” applied to dominant human dudes, but in actual wolf packs, alpha males don’t act alone. An alpha male has his alpha female by his side, and they share dominance in the pack. During mating season in particular, the ladies rule. Those little pups need to be taken care of, and the pack knows who’s in charge. That’s the sign of a strong bond between life partners: knowing when to give and take dominance in the relationship. Wolf couples don’t set an example just for their packs, but for humans, too! (WolfCountry.net)
About half the time when one Swan dies the other will die shortly thereafter. Swans also go through a period of 'mourning' lasting up to three years when their mate dies. Swans can be also become very aggressive depending on the color you are wearing. They really hate dark colors and black. White, as you would expect, doesn't bother them nearly as much. If attempting to capture a Swan (or geese) you tuck their heads under their wings and they go docile.
The idea that wolves mate for life is a bit misleading. In a pack only the alphas mate. The female isn't about to accept a male of lower status, and when the male approaches a female of lesser status, she goes into the typical submissive stance, tail tucked under, which prevents any attempt at mating. If, for some reason, either alpha loses status, the new alpha becomes the old alphas mate. It's not "till death do us part" it's more like "till somebody better than you comes along."
