The Gators (GT) were formed in late 2008 by a small coalition of roving males from a wild group and their females. There were significantly more males in the group than females when the mob of 11 was first habutated in June 2008. They had been encountered in since mid 2007 but, unlike other wild groups, it had not taken the KMT long to habutate them. Their habutation did not take long and they were soon given a group name. The Gators stayed in the KMT population for around two years before most of the males disbanded and left thier females, who later dissapeared or died.
Dominate Pair
When the Gators were first habutated, the dominate male was easy to reconize. He was the first individual to be ID-chipped and named. The dominate male was Tuff, who seemed to be one of the older males and the clear dominate so he was given the radio collar. A few days after Tuff was reconized as the dominate male, a female named Rachel was reconized as the dominate female but not given a radio collar. Progress continued and the group soon had all members with ID chips. Most males took to roving and Rachel was among one of the only females in the group, the others being two young females, possibly her offspring. The first known dominate couple did not produce a litter seeing as Rachel was not productive as a dominate female. In September 2008, a few months after she was reconized as the dominate female, she was challenged by a wild female and her sister, who was also wild. The two females, later named Rattler and Rose, joined the Gators and fought Rachel. Rose lost the fight but Rattler managed to depose Rachel. The first dominate female died two days later. Rattler then became Tuff's mate but he was overthrown by Dirtclog, his supposable rival male. Rattler and Dirtclog were both fitted with radio collars but Rattler broke hers. They remianed the dominate couple until April of 2010, when Rattler was killed by a martial eagle. Her sister, Rose, and Rachel's two daughters, Floozie and Grik, and Rattler's eldest daughter Jo were the only females left in the group. However, the males began to leave in coalitions and did not return to their females. Dominate male Dirtclog disspeared while roving and the females remained in their range for a bit longer. They followed Rose, who was supposibly the oldest, but eventully Rose's radio collar broke as well and the females were lost, bringing an end to the Gators.
