Well.
After watching the latest episode of Meerkat Manor, my thoughts can be summed up in two words: Godammit, Mozart.
Long story short: Mozart is pregnant. Kinkajou is too. They both founded the group, but both can't be the dominant female. Kinkajou takes charge, and Mozart sits around being pregnant. She gives birth. Kinkajou kills her babies, making it the third dead litter in a row Mozart has had. Kinkajou is left with position as dominant female, and Mozart is left with a severed leg of a pup. The end.
Now, I know there's no point in ranting towards an animal. But still. For crying out loud, Mozart, that's the third one! You've been pregnant, what, four times? With a 75% failure rate, too! First dead litter was a miscarriage. Second one lived for a few days, and then got ripped apart by the Commandos. To your credit, you had left to find food and hopefully the Whiskers, but they'd have died anyway with only you caring for them. And this time you let your younger half-sister get them only an hour or two after they were born.
Even your first litter had a fatality, although that wasn't your fault. Thank you, Youssarian.
Two options, Mozart: Stop having kids, or start kicking ass. Me and the other fans love you, but this is nuts. Where's the Mozart we saw evict Daisy-- as a subordinate female --during the last pregnancy?
Also, on an unrelated note, I still can't figure out whether to use Kinkajou or Kinkaju. Meerkat Manor spells it with an O, but other sources that refer to the Kalahari Meerkat Project itself don't. I'm guessing Kinkaju is the correct spelling, but I'll probably use Kinkajou anyway. I use Hannibal and Nikita instead of Jim Bob and Rhian, anyway.
