Like sand, November was swept into December and the five meerkats remained together. After a new tough moments they finally put their differences aside and began to work like a mob, well at least Izzy was tolerate of Saignee and Fritz.
Sundance and Indus got along well at first sight. And since her niece and older sister were not present, Sundance was now the oldest female and since Izzy wasn't the kind of meerkat who wanted to be dominant female, Sundance was pretty much unchalleged.
For Indus it was easy to. He was the oldest male and therefore the dominant male spot was his, but he used all of December to stamp that fact into Saignee and Fritz, both males often looked longily at the females, but with Sundance as Dominant female, Izzy would not be allow to have pups.
December soon turned to January and it was decided that the five meerkats had been together long enough to be called a mob and therefore, named. The researchers visited the meerkats and weighed each.
They maped out the boundies of the little group's land, then they did the most important parts. The mob was named the Isikaras, and as dominant female, Sundance was given a shiny black radio collar like her mother and others before her.
A new saga had unfolded for the Isikaras and now Sundance and Indus had to make sure their group survived, it would be hard, but yet it was a good time for a new mob to be formed, during the rainy season.
