Bearslayer(VWM151) was born on February 13, 2010 in the Whiskers Mob. His mother was Ella and his father was Thundercat, the dominant couple of the Whiskers at the time. Bearslayer was born in a litter of five with four litter-mates were VWM149, The Sphinx(VWM150), VWP152 and Rafiki(VWF153). All five pups survived their first four weeks and started foraging with the adults. While out foraging, VWP152 was predated. Being the pups of the dominant female, Bearslayer and his brothers and sister were well looked after. All four pups survived their first five months. Ella became pregnant and gave birth to a new litter in August 2010. That same month VWM149 died. Bearslayer and his remaining litter-mates survived to adulthood. In March 2011, Ella became pregnant again and she evicted Rafiki for
