The more popular a male becomes as alpha male and the more the rest of them respects them and looks up to them, the better their position is defended in case it's going to be challenged by somebody else, because then, of course, the whole group is going to support that male because they want to keep a leader who is good for them.
Quanto mais popular  for um macho alfa, e quanto mais os restantes o respeitem e o venerem, melhor será defendida a sua posição, no caso de vir a ser desafiado por qualquer um. Porque, claro, todo o grupo vai apoiar esse macho porque querem manter um líder que é bom para eles.
