Meerkat Manor is a documentary on the life of a group of Meerkats called the Whiskers. Led by new dominant female Rocket Dog, this is a fasinating tale about life in the Kalahari Desert in South Africa. This show takes you through the ups and downs of these tiny little Meerkats, and I'm going to introduce them to you!

Flower-The leader and dominant female of the Whiskers. She was born in 2000. Flower is the main character of the show and is the mother of over 70 pups. She was fitted with a radio collar that allowed scientists and film crews to track the group's movements. Despite her toughness, Flower can be nurturing to her pups and the other gang members, but is equally capable of ruthlessness, all in the name of "survival of the fittest" In the episode Journey's End she is bitten by a Cape Cobra, and died and her daughter, Rocket Dog, took the lead role after she passed.

Zaphod-Flower's partner and the dominant male of the Whiskers. He is the largest member in the family and is a bit of a bruiser. His main duties are to scent mark their territory and mate with Flower. He replaced his brother, Youssarian, as dominant male. When Flower is ready to mate he stays very close to her to keep other males away from her, but mostly Youssarian. His mate, Flower, died and his daughter Rocket Dog took the lead role after she passed. Due to the loss of Flower, he has left his group and is now roving. However, he has returned and is the dominant male once again.

Youssarian-Zaphod's brother and sentry in the Whiskers. He is eight years old, and used to be the dominant male, until Zaphod took his place. Because of a scar across his left eye, it is thought that as a pup, he was picked up by a bird of prey, then dropped on his head. Later it was proven that he got his scar from Zaphod. He mated with some females from the rival group, the Lazuli. He is infamous for forcing burrow moves while babysitting the pups, and is described as having "social problems". He is responsible for the death of one of Mozart's pups during a burrow move. When Daisy had pups, he tried to help her rescue them, but failed. He also led the splinter group with Daisy. He is the father of Pancake's pups. In season 3, he has gone on an extended roving trip.

Tosca-Flower's rebellious daughter. She was initially evicted from the Whiskers for having pups and permanently for taking charge of the Splinters, the larger of the two groups created when the Whiskers temporarily split. The crew believed that the Splinter group would be permanent and fitted Tosca with a radio collar. It is said that she gave birth to Jogu, McMurphy, and De La Soul. It is assumed that she died during a harsh winter. She has not been seen since 2005.

Daisy-Troublesome daughter of Flower. She has a nervous disposition and was heard barking with no apparent reason when she was the dominant female of Splinters. During Mozart's last pregnancy, she was the victim of eviction by her sister, which is considered a very rare event in meerkat society. She ended up back in the Whiskers after Flower reasserted her dominance over Mozart. She was babysitting when the Zappa charged and she saved the pups, along with Colombus.

Shakespeare-A hero of a meerkat,and the courageous son of Flower. He survived a double bite, on his neck and leg, from a puff adder. He has not been seen since the episode The Calm Before the Storm, and is presumed dead, since his body was never found. The researchers stated that a male of his description was found outside the research area.

Rocket Dog-Rocket Dog is the new dominant female. Rocket Dog is most likely one of Kinkajou's littermates. She was known as Rocky in the early episodes. Rocket Dog became the dominant female when her mother, Flower, mysteriously disappears. When Flower returns, she again becomes a subordinate. But when Flower dies, she is dominant female of the Whiskers once again, but she faces trouble and confrontation from her sister Maybelline.

Attila- an aggressive son of Zaphod and Flower. He notably led a charge against roving meerkat Grog from the Commandos, who approached the Whiskers' babysitting burrow to look for females in season 2. Even though he is very brave, he was afraid to fight a scorpion that was given by Mozart.
