Baobab Meerkat Group

The Baobab Meerkat Group is a group of meerkats first seen in December 2007 founded by 4 Whiskers females and 3 wild males. Hawkeye established dominance over her litter mate Cruise with wild male Al Pacino who lost dominance to Al Capone. After a temporary group split, Cruise took dominance away from Hawkeye but Hawkeye regained dominance again. The Baobab have been growing large because both founding females brought up their litters through. Baobab have grown to 40-strong group with over 50 individuals making it one of the fastest growing groups. A group split of the Baobab group occured in January 2010 with 8 members founding Urukhai group which was in existence for only a month before reuniting with the main group. Hawkeye was the dominant female until her death in April 2010, leaving her sister Cruise finally in charge of the group.

The Dominant Meerkat Pair
When Baobab founded Hawkeye and Cruise were the oldest of the four founding females, though Hawkeye took dominant female position. Al Pacino established male dominance for only a short while before losing dominance to Al Capone. Al Capone held on to dominance since then. After a temporary first group split, Cruise took dominance from Hawkeye but was barely dominant for a whole month before Hawkeye took back dominance. Hawkeye and Al Capone remained the dominant pair of the group through out. In January 2010 eight members led by Cruise and Al Catraz founded Urukhai group which reunited with Baobab. Hawkeye and Al Capone established full dominance again. Hawkeye died on April 1,2009, leaving her sister Cruise as the dominant female.
