Polaris Mob

The Polaris Mob was formed by one Hoax male and four wild meerkats in late 2007. The dominant pair originally was Capella and Achernar, but the ex-dominant male of the Hoax, Carravagio ousted the Achernar and became the dominant male. The Hoax male was the only habituated animal within the group and he held dominance for little more then a year before he was found dead. Capella wasn't very produtive with Carravagio, who may have been the problem. Achernar took over as the dominant male again but he was soon predated. Capella was taken by disease and she was succeeded by Rigel. Five rovers soon joined the group Acer, or Balrog origins, took over as the dominant male.

Dominant Pair

At the start the Polaris Capella was already the dominant female alongside Achernar. However when Hoax male Carravagio joined the group, he ousted Achernar from his position. After Carravagio was found dead, Achernar became the dominant male again but his reign was short-lived. Achernar was predated by a hawk and Titus took over dominance but onyl for a month. For a few months the group was only led by a dominant female. Not long after Capella succumed to disease and Rigel took over as the new dominant female. A month later five rovers fromt he Balrog and Hoax joined the group, the eldest Acer took up dominance beside Rigel.
