A new group was discovered this month 1.5 km south of Whiskers’ territory. The group is comprised of approximately 17 wild individuals and at least one pregnant female. One adult male who seemed comfortable around the observers was identified as Princess Carolyn (VTDM013), originally from Trackie-Daks and later immigrating into Whiskers. This new habituation group has been named Khoisan (KS). Read more about Khoisan in the February Meerkatter.

Elrond’s Council continues to suffer from advanced tuberculosis. Four individuals were lost due to tuberculosis.
