The Zulus Mob was formed by 19 meerkatS in April of 2010. For the first few months the dominant pair was unknown but one meerkat was more tolerant of humans than the other wild meerkats. It was soon discovered that this meerkat was Shaka Zulu who had been born in the Lazuli, and helped form the Hoppla, before disappeared in late 2008 probably joining this wild group. The group was encounter in late 2009 but not followed till 2010. The dominant female was discovered to be Ocho Niple, a female with eight instead of six nipple. Nothing else is known about this group.
