The X-iles Mob was formed in 1997 by two Lazuli females and Vivian males. The group soon expanded with the immigration of Young Ones and later wild males while the Vivian males were roving. After several dominance changes within the group and alot of roving, the wild males ousted the Vivian males, one of which showed sighns of tuberculosis. By the following year in 1998 most of members died from disease and a few splinters were no longer followed after 1999. However one of the Young Ones males was seen with wild meerkats, possibly the remainer of the X-iles in mid 2000, this group was never follower however.
Dominant Pair
When X-iles was started, VLF005 became the dominant female. Male dominance was taken by one of the Vivian males most likely Captain Joans took dominance. However he was probably ousted by Young Ones males, and the oldest of the Young Ones males Morris probably became the dominant male. After wild males joined the group, one of them took dominance however one of the males showed signs of disease and all the members would succumb to it a year later including VLF005.
