The Whiskers Mob is a successful group of meerkats that own a two square miles area in the Kuruman River Reserve. The group came into existence in 1998, with four Young Ones females and two Lazuli rovers. Holly and Argon took dominance till 2000. After Holly died, her niece, Risca took dominance. In the next few days, all the Whiskers males went roving and eleven Vivian rovers emigrated into Whiskers in 2001. Izit won dominance over Basil, despite Basil being older. Later, Risca and Izit lost dominance and left to formed the new mob Gattaca. The rest of the Vivian rovers left Whiskers except for Zaphod and Yousarran. Vialli chooses Yousarrian to become her mate. After Vialli died, Flower won dominance in 2002. However, she chooses Zaphod to become her mate. Some time after, Yousarrian overthrew Zaphod and became dominant male. But a year later, Zaphod managed to overthrow his brother. Yousarrian stays in Whiskers. Flower and Zaphod was the dominant pair for 4 years.
