The Young Ones are one of the greatest groups of the Kalahari Meerkat Project. The Mob started when two of the Avatar Sisters Morgause and Igraine were joined by Drie Doring Males. Morgause took dominance and the group grew quickly. The Young Ones were successful group and set the foundation for many of the Kalahari Meerkat Project's other groups such as the, Frisky Mob in 1997 including Igraine, the Whiskers Mob in 1008 and the Commandos Mob in 2004. Early in 2004 Morgause disappeared while heavily pregnant and Veda established dominance even though Asterix was older, yet she was lost within the year. Dominance then was taken by Asteris and Alexander, a Vivian from the Whiskers. Asterix was not very productive, however she was good at evictions, and the group dwindled in size then Alexander was found dead. Asterix disappeared, leaving only Lotte as the new dominant female, her sister Scrutney Gippo and four males in the group. The group could no longer be tracked, most likely due to a faulty collar, after the Young Ones moved to the edge of the reserve. The Young One were considered Last Seen in November 2008. The Young Ones were made famous by playing the Whiskers' rivals the Zappa and the adoption of young Axel on Meerkat Manor.

Young Ones Foundation Groups
Throughout the history of the Young Ones group, many small splinters were created by evicted females and roving males.
Commandos Mob was formed in late 2004 by six evicted Gattaca females and seven Young Ones males, including the ex-dominant male. One of the featured mobs on Meerkat Manor, the Commandos became one of the fastest growing mobs. After the death of the dominant male, the Commandos had many changes in male dominance and was sadly lost to disease in mid 2009.
Frisky Mob was formed by four evicted Young Ones females lead by Igraine who were previously called 'Hobo' formed the Frisky with wild males. The Frisky became one of the most successful groups and even had some Young One males join the group even if Young Ones females had founded it. This group is still alive today.
Sirius Mob was a very short lived group which was formed by Lazuli females and Young Ones males. This group sadly was soon lost.
Umbongo Mob was formed in 1999 by two evicted Young Ones females, one juvenile and one pups who had temaed up with two Frisky rovers, the group died of a disease 2 years later.
PQ Mob was formed by two evicted Young Ones females, with one tag along pup and three Lazuli males. The group lost two members to disease and the last three males left to form the Starsky. While the last female then managed to join Balrog.
Whiskers Mob was formed in 1998 by four evicted Young Ones females, two Lazuli rovers and one wild male. This group by far is the most famous of all the Young Ones founding groups. This group is still alive today.
Meerkat Manor
The Young Ones were feturned on Meerkat Manor as the Zappa.They were shown being chased off by the Whiskers. Both Alexander and Asterix played the Zappa's dominant pair Frank and Lola, then later Houdini and Punk. An evicted female named Tequilla played Meladie who appeared at the Whiskers babysitting burrow. It was believed she mated with Jogu but she never was mentioned to have had any pups. After a forced burrow move caused by the invading splinter group, young pup Axel was left behind but was found by Mitch(Logan). The pup was adopted into the Whiskers. The Young Ones were not see in season four however rovers Wilson(Homestar Runner) and Philleppe were seen threwout the show.
