The Hoppla encountering the Lazuli
The Hoppla Mob was a short lived group formed in August 2008, by five Lazuli males and five wild females. The females were believe to be Nutters females but that was never determined fully. J. Alfred Prufrock assumed the role of dominant male, however female dominance changed due to disease. Within a few months all five females and one of the pups died of disease, and two wild females joined the group. They raised their first two litters but TB hit the group. The group was declared Last Seen after signs of disease and poor habituation. The group consided of two Lazuli males, two wild females, four in sub-adults and four pups July 2009.
One of the founding males later re-appeared in a wild mob known as the Zulus Mob two years later.
Dominant Pair[]
The dominant male spot was quickly taken by J. Alfred Prufrock, and the dominant female was VHPF002. However as all the females were suffering from disease and soon all died. Then two wild females join the group. VHPF007 took dominance early and remained the dominant female until the group was Last Seen in 2009.
