Raphael was born in a wild meerkat mob. he survived to adulthood and took to roving. He left his wild mob with three other males. The males came across six females and one male. This was the small Moomins mob. A hoax male named Houdini had joined the females after their group split. The four males joined the Moomins. Raphael battled for dominance with the the three other males, now named, Leonardo (VMMM042), Donatello(VMMM043) and Michelangelo(VMMM045). Raphael was given the ID Code VMMM044. Leonardo won dominance over the other males. Houdini left the mob. Donatello was the first of the males to died of disease. Grumpy, the ex-dominant female died soon after. Leonardo and Donatello were the only wild males that died of TB. Raphael was last seen in February 2008 before TB began to spread h
