Wild
The Dude(VFM118) was born in a wild mob. His mother was confirmed by DNA testing to be Imp of the Elveera Mob and his father was either the dominant male or a roving male, maybe even one from the Kalahari Meerkat Project. His mother was later confirmed to be imp, an Eleveara femaleThe Dude's litter-mates remain unknown as well as his life before he went roving in July 2005.
Frisky
The Dude came across another group called the Frisky and managed to join the group. The former dominant male was lost and so the Frisky were in need of a new dominant male. The Dude took the dominant female at the time Frascati as his mate. Frascati gave birth to Tangle, Fable and Bootle on August 4, 2005. It is most likely that he did not father this litter since he just joined the group a month before Frascati gave birth. Meerkats are pregnant for around 70 days so she would have been pregnant at the time he joined. On October 22, 2005 Frascati gave birth to Rave On, Clinton Baptiste, Holy Mary, Chorley and Kenny Snr. The Dude was most porbably the father of this litter. Disease had been plagueing the group for several months and in Novemner 2005 The Dude died of tuberculosis. His son Clinton Baptiste later left the Frisky and became the dominant male of the Kung Fu where he fathered a litter of pups.
