The Balrog was a group of wild meerkat first seen in 1994 but wasn't followed till 2001. The dominant male Balrog was believed to be around four to six years of age. After the death of the first dominant female Luella, five Vivian females joined the group, Velvet taking dominance. The Balrog had many failed breeding attempts amoung the females. After Velvet's death her daughter Baddales became the dominant female at nine months of age, even though her cousin Mussolini was eleven months old. After her death Priscilla whow as even younger became the new dominant female over Mussolini. This became a theme amoung the Balrog meerkats, the young meerkats became dominats even though there was an older more suitable meerkat for the job. Even after the death of Balrog, the long term dominant male, of old age and his eldest son Mababane became the dominant male even though he was not the eldest male. After all the natal-males left the group, Stinker, ex-dominant male of the Vivian and Gattaca, joined the group for five days till he was ousted by three wild males. Chino took his place however he and Priscilla soon died. A group of Vivian males joined the Balrog, Boba became the dominant male even though there were two older males. All the Vivian males rejoined the Vivian within a month beside the dominant male. Mussolini finally became the new dominant female and even allowed two unrelated females into the group. Mussolini's reign was short, only a year, till her and Boba's death. A wild female named Wildkat and Balrog male Basta became the new dominant pair till Wilkdat was predated. Audrey, Mussolini's eldest daughter, assumed the role of leadership. She was soon joined by Suggs, a signal Whisker rover, from the Hoax.
Dominant Pair[]
The Balrog was observed in 2002 in March. Dominance was taken by Luella and Balrog, the male meerkat. After Luella died, a wild female Velvet took dominance in Balrog. After Velvet died, her daughter Babbales became the dominant female and later Priscilla. Balrog died, his son Mbabane took dominance. Mbabane left the group. Stinker joined the group and held dominance for five days before he wa sousted by three wild males. Chino became the domin ant male A group of Vivian males joined the group, Boba took dominance. After Priscilla died of disease onyl did Mussolini became the dominant female. Their reign was short when both succumbed of disease and Wildkat, a wild female, became the dominant female with Basta till her death.
