Samba, Rastas' mother, almost became the new dominant female, but was ousted by her younger sister Celidh. Samba disappared later and when Rastas was just eight months old, three wild males joined the group in April 2009. In June 2009, Rastas succumbed to TB along with Celidh and Cho, and soon after the Commandos were lost because Celidh was the only collared animal. It is unknown what became of Rastas' brothers.
