Brea (VLM157), dominant male of of Whiskers since October 2014, turned ten years old this month. This is quite an achievement for a meerkat! This month’s Meerkatter features some of the highlights of his life including helping to form the Cavemen group in 2011.
Lazuli suffered a number of losses this month, including Sigma’s (VLF230) litter, some for unknown reasons. There is some speculation that culprit lay somewhere down in the burrow, but nothing was ever seen.
Tswana’s Lil’ Nasty (VTSF002) was predated, leaving three dye-marked and seven wild individuals in the group. None are wearing a radio collar.
