Boar leadership (question)

[naguya]

I am somewhat curious.

I thought Bijou was the leader by now, since he is so fierce when comes to Momo. He is the only one who occasionally runs after Momo and he is always the one who kicks Momo out of places. Momo definitely respects him a LOT. Bijou is like a boss!

But tonight I noticed a change? Momo only behaved like this when Bijou arrived. Now, Momo is chasing after Bijou non-stop and Bijou just screams, normally he would push Momo and Momo would understand and go away.

Or sometimes there is a change in who is chasing who when comes to boars?

I'm curious about this situation.

I think it was a crazy-very rare moment for Momo, Bijou just put Momo back in his place and showed who's the real boss

How old is Momo now?
They can have hormone spikes and try their luck but if Bijou is a strong leader and Momo respects that then nothing will come of it.

When Dexter was alive and he and Popcorn were a pair, I could tell who was boss but for anyone who didn’t know them it wouldn’t have been obvious because they both displayed dominance behaviours (Dexter mounted and Popcorn rumbled and chased).
Now Popcorn rather old and lives with young Wilbur, Popcorn has completely given way to allow Wilbur to be boss and now Popcorn doesn’t show any dominance.

According to his previous owner, Momo was 6 months old in June, so now he is about 11 months old? But I believe Momo is much older, his nails are very thick, while Bijou's (7 months old) are much thinner compared to when I got Momo.

I see, so they both can display dominance behaviours even with an existent leader.

I am 99% sure the leader is Bijou by now, because he rules everything and Momo always obeys him. I just got surprise by yesterday when Momo suddenly changed, he always was a quiet boy.
