List of Meerkat Manor Meerkats - Zappa - Punk

Punk

Punk is Lola's littermate, and the current dominant female of the group as of the end of the third series. More aggressive than her sister, Punk grew increasingly rebellious under Lola's leadership. When Lola was weakened by a snake bite, Punk took over as dominant female. Later that day, when Houdini returned to the group and defeated dominant male Frank, Punk quickly accepted him as her new partner.

During the third series, Punk regularly led the Zappa into grab-and-go foraging runs into the Whiskers territory, but the smaller size of the group forced them to flee from direct confrontations. Towards the end of the series, a pregnant Punk started stealing food form her subordinates just as her sister once did. The Zappa came under attack from the newly formed Aztec group in the last episode of the series, but were able to escape. Punk's pups were saved through the efforts of Lola. After the fourth series aired in the United States, the Friends of the Kalahari reported that Punk was killed by a Martial Eagle in August 2008.
