Kili (VCDF041) was born on February 16, 2008, in the Commandos. Her mother was Beatrice, a subordinate female, and her father was an unknown rover. Kili was born in an average-sized litter of four; her litter-mates were her one brother named Everest(VCDM039) and two sisters named Cho(VCDF040) and VCDF042. Within the same month, Beatrice was evicted by Zorilla, the dominant female, who was pregnant again. Also that same month, the dominant male Zarathustra died, and his younger brother Baker took over as the new dominant male. Despite the fact that Zorilla was pregnant, she made no attempt to kill or abandon the subordinate's litter. Beatrice eventually made it back into the group. Kili's litter survived their first three months, but sadly, in April, Kili's sister VCDF042 was predated. When
