Animal behavior where some individuals have higher social rank and more privileges

Real World Example

Imagine trying to decide who gets to control the TV remote in a busy household. Just like in this scenario where certain family members might have a say over others, in animal groups, some individuals hold a higher social rank and enjoy more privileges. The person who often controls the remote is like the dominant animal in a hierarchy, making key decisions and having access to the best resources, while others may have to wait for their turn or have limited access, mirroring the way lower-ranked animals have fewer privileges.
