The May Life History files have been uploaded.
Here are the most important events:
- Baobab have a new dominant male – a wild immigrant. Most individuals suffer from TB, however.
- Jazzy Jeff was driven out of Run Amuk by Hakuna Matata males Riptide and Reepicheep. He’s now wandering between groups.
- Many groups have had late litters, including Swift’s 5 pups at Whiskers, or Egg’s 6 pups at Van Helsing.
- Please note that the LH table and the Meerkatter LH details now feature a new category „Unknown“ among the groups; this is not a proper group, but lists the individuals that are not considered part of a group (e.g. long-term evictees, or ousted males) but still appear in the population, living on their own.
