Abba was a wild meerkat group that have not been habituated. They wouldn't allow researchers get at least 100 to 300 meters. They were first seen in 2003 and occasionally throughout the years and held a territory between Young Ones, Frisky and Rascals.Several Young One males have dispersed into the group over the years but still the wild Abba was not habituated. The Abba had been in one group encounter with Toyota in 2009. Only in 2010 did the group start to be followed after a split that gave rise to the Godzilla Mob left the Abba with only 10 members.
Dominant Pair[]
When the group first started to be followed in October 2010, after the group split, the dominant pair was unknown for the first few months. In January 2011 the dominant male was discovered to be Gadio. In March the dominant female was discovered and named Anaria. In June 2012 Gadio died from an infection after he was injured during a group[ encolunter with the Incas. For two months there was no dominant male till Spitzer, first born male, assumed his father's dominant position.
