    No, even humans didn’t really have celebrities in most societies until media was invented. If a million people had heard of you it was because you were either a king or a dead religious figure.

    Animals have dominance hierarchies but it’s not comparable to celebrities

    Sure thing. That’s the one with their pick of the flock.

    No. Celebrity requires mass communication.

    Based on one anecdotal experience with wild cockatoos seemingly led by an ex pet cockatoo who could talk and wasn’t afraid of humans and caged birds, yes.

    There are dominant couples among wolves, there are elephant matriarchs, there are a real big range on whales and their song?
