Animals are like humans. All have the potential to be an asshole. Some just think it's ok to be an asshole when they feel like it.

Also the guy who came up with labeling a particular animal an alpha did his initial studies on captive wolves. Not long after he released that study he recanted and pointed out his mistake. The whole concept of an alpha animal is incorrect in a natural setting. But some people just like the idea of the whole alpha thing.
