| - Keyser(VTYM045) was born on January 2012 in the Toyota. His mother was Chimp and his father was most likely the dominant male Snickers. He was born in a litter of four, his litter-mates were his two brothers VTYM044 and Thorne(VTYM043) and one sister Firefly(VTYF042). The four pups survived the first four weeks and started foraging with the adults. The Toyota was a small group with just three adult females and five adult males. Sadly VTYM044 was soon lost but Keyser and his remaining brother and sister survived their first three months. In March his mother Chimp died with his aunt named Peanut. There were no dominant female for two months until his aunt and last adult female Squeaker became the dominant female in June. Sadly that same month his father Snickers and uncles Twix, Ole, and Nabby died leaving the last JaXX male Rococo as the dominant male. However he went roving and disappeared the next month and a Drie Doring male called Fingal joined the group. Keyser and Thorn didn't challange Fingal for dominance, being only juveniles. In August Squeaker died leaving Keyser sister Firefly as the dominant female at seven months of age. Fingal didn't seem interested in her, because of her young age, and took to roving. In September two females named Naggapatzi and Treva The Renewer joined the group, Naggapatzi ousted Firefly and evicted her. Rococo returned from roving and became the dominant male again. That same month Keyser went roving with Fingal at the young age of eight months old, making him one of the youngest rovers ever. Keyser returned to the group but Fingal had disappeared. A Whisker male named Princess Madcat later joined the group and took dominance after Rococo succumbed to disease. Keyser and his two remaining litter-mates soon reach adulthood. Keyser started to rove from time to time, however hsi brother Thorn later disappeared after roving. Keyser stayed in the mob a little longer. In April 2013 he was kicked out with Princess Madcat by four wild males from the Honey Badgers. The two males visited the Whiskers before conituning roving and were absent but the end of the month. Kesyer and Princess Madcat were considered Last Seen in April 2013.
