Frisky Mob
From Meerkats Wiki
The Frisky Mob was Started by Young Ones females and some wild males. Jubulani was dominant females for many years. After the death of the wild male, Jubulani joined up with a Young Ones male. After the death of Jubulani, her daughter Frascati was dominant for a few years. After Frascati's death, Bootle took the position of dominant female and is still dominant female to this day. After Bootle became dominant female, a wild male joined the group to take the dominant male position, but he soon died and a Drie Doring male named Gazebo is dominant male to this day. At one point, Frisky had the most members in a mob, over 50, ever recorded in the Kalahari Meerkat Project, even more than the more-commonly known Whiskers.
