The Elveera Meerkat Group is a group of meerkats first seen in 1995 founded by members of the Phantom group. Ex-Phantom dominant female Tenuvial founded the group with her ex dominant male Ectorius. Ectorius dispersed and joined the Frisky group. and then came the immigration of Drie Doring and Vivian male. The group was initially headed by Tenuvial and the Vivian male named Silks(first born male at the Vivian group). After Tenuvial was predated for years after her sister Eleusine took over as dominant female with her nephew Dante. Eleusine was taken by a cape cobra in 2005 and her daughter Jo Jo Hello became the dominant female after her mother. Dante was lost and in April of 2007 three Young Ones males joined the group with Habusu taking dominant male position before being deposed by his younger brother Teabag. Habusu and several females dispersed. In early 2009 there was a first case of TB in this group with a couple of members died including Jo Jo Hello in June 1,2009. Her daughter Chibkuku Scud took over as dominant female after her. After the dominant pair and some remaining members disappeared without being followed the group was lost.
