The Vivian Mob was founded In 1995. A female named Vivian who was the only tamed meerkat was released in the study site. Some Drie Doring males joined her but left. She produced a litter and managed to raise the pups. Some of the Drie Doring males returned and stayed with her. The new group was called Vivian after the dominant female. After the death of the first dominant male, a well known Young Ones male joined the group and held dominance until the death of Vivian. He remained in the group, but later emigrated to take dominance of Gattaca. Since 2000 the group had been led by Vivan's daughter Rhian and Jim Bob as the new dominant pair. Vivian males had emigrated into the Whiskers, Gattaca, and Balrog groups. Vivian used to be a large mob growing larger with the litters of first Vivian and later her daughter Rhian's constant litters. However, the rise of tuberculosis in the group in 2007 brought the downfall of the great Vivian group. The disease hit the group hard killing the long term dominant male Jim Bob. Asriel, an adult female, died after. Then gradually there were up to five or six TB casualties a month. Despite the emigration of two wild males could not stop the decline of the Vivian. the Vivian group died off after 12 years of being one of the most famous KMP mobs, and one of the most successful. Vivan group was last seen in December 2007. Despite the loss of the Vivian many of the members emigrated or formed new groups making the Vivian the ancestors of many group including Whiskers, Young Ones, Gattaca, Lazuli, Rascals and Balrog. Many of these groups formed new mods continuing the Vivian blood-line. Some of the new mobs included the Aztecs, JaXX, Kung Fu, Commandos, Hoopla, Sequioa and Starsky. Zaphod the long-term dominant male of the Whiskers is the last living Vivian alive today, now the dominant male of the Aztecs.
Dominant Pair
Vivian was the first dominant female for the group with a Drie Doring male. After the Drie Doring male died a Young Ones male named Stinker emigrated into the group. He took dominance next to Vivian till her death in 2000. He left and took dominance in the Gattaca. Rhian, Vivian's daughter took dominance after her. Natal Vivian males took male dominance till some Young Ones males emigrated into the group. Jim Bob established dominance beside Rhian. After their deaths the Vivian was lost.

Drie Doring male, Stinker
|
Vivian was first seen in 1995 as a semi-habituated female. She started of with a lonely existence and was probably evicted from a wild group. Her previous group is unknown but she was not alone for long. During 1995 she met up with a male from Drie Doring and started a family. After she had her first litter the group was named after her, Vivian. Vivian became the dominant female and the Drie Doring male most probably took over as dominant male. Vivian gave birth to multiple litters and with only a short period of time Vivian Mob began to grow large and became one of the largest groups of the KMP. Vivian remained the dominant female for a long time. Her former partner, the Drie Doring male, died and a Young Ones male, Stinker, joined Vivian and became her new mate. Stinker became the dominant male and like Vivian herself, he was the long-term dominant of Vivian. Vivian's oldest son, Silks, left the group and during 1995 he started a mob called Elveera with some Phantom members from the lost Phantom group. He became the long-term dominant male until his death. Vivian died in 2000 and the leadership of the group was taken by her daughter Rhian. Rhian became the dominant female for some time. Stinker left and joined Gattaca but was seen in Balrog. Rhian's mate was Jim Bob who was from Young Ones. Vivian's offspring were successful in being dominants of groups themselves. A good example occurred in 2002 when eight Vivian males, all the sons of Vivian, joined Whiskers. Her sons Zaphod,Yossarian,Izit,Basil,Zazu and Alexander all became dominant males of their groups, and in doing so spread the Vivian blood making it the ancestor of many other groups.

The previous dominant male was Stinker from Young Ones but after Vivian died he left to rove and join other groups in search of new breeding opportunities. He then joined Gattaca formed by his own sons. He was also seen roving at Balrog. A Young ones male, Jim Bob, took over as dominant male of Vivian. Rhian and Jim Bob became the long-term dominant pair of Vivian and were even featured on Meerkat Manor as Nikita and Hannibal. Rhian had many litters and made Vivian very strong and large. She evicted some of her daughters though. She evicted two of her daughters, Velvet and Viv'e, who joined Balrog. Velvet became the dominant female after the former dominant female died, beating to it over her litter-mate sister Vive'e. Velvet evicted her sister Vive' who disappeared. Velvet died and Viv'e's daughter Musolini took over as dominant female after Priscilla died. Mussolini then lost her position to Velvet's daughter Babbelas who was only nine months old for a dominant. Balrog was lost. Both of Rhian's daughters disappeared.
