在非洲的心脏腹地 Every day in the heart of Africa,
每天都上演着不为人知的惊奇故事 amazing true stories happen that no one ever sees.
不久以前,在这片平原上 Not so long ago on these plains,
两位母亲为争夺地盘,彼此想消灭对方 two mothers battled forces that sought to destroy them.
只有表现超凡的母亲才会获得胜利 Only by showing extraordinary courage would these mothers prevail.
非洲大猫传奇
一条大河将陆地一分为二 A mighty river divides this land.
它标示出两个狮子族群之间的边界 It marks the boundary between two rival families of lions.
大河南边住着河岸狮群 To the south lives the River Pride,
有6只母狮和牠们幼崽 six lionesses and their cubs.
牠们的族群关系极为融洽 They're a close-knit family,
相互慰籍并保护着彼此 and rely on each other for comfort and protection.
莱拉是最年长且经验丰富的母狮 Layla is the oldest and most experienced lioness.
牠只有一只幼崽 She has just one cub,
6个月大的玛拉 six-month-old Mara.
莱拉显得越发苍老 Layla's age is starting to show.
戎马生涯也即将走到尽头 A lifetime of hunting has taken its toll.
幼狮有母狮来喂食和抚养的 The cubs are fed and raised by the lionesses,
但保护牠们的是狮群的领导者 but they are protected by the pride's ruler,
牠名叫"尖牙" Fang.
牠的断牙是在近日的争斗中造成的 His broken tooth is a war wound from a recent battle,
这是牠勇敢的标志 and a mark of his bravery.
牠是所有幼狮及其保护者的老大 He is the father of all of the cubs and their defender.
对于玛拉,牠一直是最好的爸爸 To Mara, he's the best dad ever.
尖牙保护着玛拉和玛拉母亲的安全 Fang keeps Mara and her mother safe,
并守护着狮群的领地 and guards their pride lands,
丰饶的土地上每年都有一场百万之众的 rich lands that every year host a great migration
大迁徙 a million strong.
尖牙会让所有的狮子知道牠才是南部王国的统治者 Fang lets all other lions know that he alone rules the southern kingdom.
大河北边住着完全不同的大猫 North of the river lives a very different cat,
牠是陆地上最快的动物 the fastest creature on land,
猎豹 a cheetah.
西塔的生活与狮子完全没有相似之处 Sita's life is different from a lion's in every way,
因为牠是独居动物 because she lives alone.
西塔有个秘密 Sita has a secret.
就是前不久牠在草原的巢穴里产下了5只幼崽 Not long ago, she gave birth in this grassy den to five cubs.
牠们还闭着眼睛,不能自理 They are still blind, helpless
且完全依赖于牠们的母亲 and totally reliant on their mother.
西塔是一位单身妈妈 Sita is a single mother,
没有群体可以依靠 and with no pride to help her,
狩猎时牠必须离开牠的孩子们 she must leave her cubs all alone when she hunts.
猎豹是陆地上最快的动物 Cheetahs may be the fastest animals on land,
但其狩猎也非易事 but hunting still isn't easy.
汤姆森羚羊也跟猎豹一样快速而敏捷 The Thomson's gazelles she favors are almost as fast and very agile.
西塔加速很快,但不能持久 Sita is built for speed,but has no staying power.
为了不错过时机 To have any chance,
牠必须潜行至最近的距离 she must sneak as close as possible.
在30秒内搞定猎物 Under 30 seconds before exhaustion.
机会稍纵即逝 It's now or never.
成功了 Success.
西塔的孩子们今天不会挨饿了 Sita's cubs will not go hungry today.
大河孕育了荒原上众多的野生动物 The river is a great bringer of life to this wilderness,
但它也会是一个致命的敌人 but it can also be a deadly foe.
奔腾的激流能让最强健的狮子走向死亡 The surging rapids can carry even the strongest lion to his death.
这是鳄鱼的地盘 This is where dragons dwell.
冲刷上岸的河马尸体为河岸狮群提供了免费的餐点 The River Pride feeds on a dead hippo washed up on the river's bank.
鳄鱼无视陆地上的统治者 Crocodiles don't fear the rulers of the land,
有一个家伙是例外 with one exception.
那就是尖牙 Fang.
今天,狮群的守护者获胜了 Today, the pride's protector has earned his keep.
满是鳄鱼的大河也有一项益处 A crocodile-infested river does have one benefit.
就是保证了狮群不会被北岸的敌人入侵 It protects the pride from invasion from the north.
北方王国的统治者是尖牙最强劲的敌手 The northern kingdom is ruled by Fang's greatest enemy,
牠是卡里 Kali.
卡里并非独身 And Kali is not alone.
牠还有4个精力旺盛的儿子 He has four sons in their prime.
牠们共同构建了这片土地上最强大的力量 Together, they form the most powerful force in this land,
攻无不克 one set on conquest.
卡里早就统治了北岸的母狮 Kali already rules the lionesses of the north,
但牠并不满足 but he is not content with that.
牠和儿子们计划将领地扩展到南岸 He and his sons are driven to expand their realm to the south.
如果牠打败尖牙 lf he overthrows Fang,
牠会杀死玛拉和尖牙所有的孩子 he will kill Mara and have new cubs of his own.
卡里几乎是小玛拉最大的威胁 Kali is little Mara's greatest danger.
现在,大河水位上涨 For now, the river is high,
卡里无法越过激流 a barrier that Kali will not cross.
但水位终究还是会落下的 But eventually, its waters will fall.
对于西塔的5只幼崽 For Sita's five cubs,
住在舒适的巢穴里恰似在天堂一般 living in their snug little home seems like paradise.
幼豹的体型现在足以应付首次出行 The cubs are now old enough For their first trip.
牛羚群正在迁移 The gazelle herds have moved on,
牠们需要迎头赶上 and the family needs to catch up.
西塔很快发现带着这群小家伙其实很不容易 Sita quickly discovers that herding cats isn't easy.
对西塔而言,当务之急是穿过开阔草原去寻找猎物 For Sita, it's time to cross the open plains to find them food.
对幼豹来说,这是一次大冒险 For the cubs, it's a huge adventure.
真是一次惊心的冒险 What an amazing first adventure.
大规模的牛羚群仍要前往尖牙的南部王国 Massive herds still cross Fang's southern kingdom,
因为河岸狮群的领地有丰盛的食物 so food is plentiful for the River Pride.
莱拉或许是老了,但牠仍是最有经验的猎人 Layla may be old, but she is the most experienced hunter.
牠知道设伏的最佳地点 She knows the best place to stage an ambush.
母狮群体狩猎 The lionesses hunt as a team.
莱拉一马当先,带领狮群慢慢靠近陷阱 With Layla leading,they slowly begin to close the trap.
尽管莱拉已力不从心,牠依然决定为狮群而战 Despite her aging body,Layla is determined to help the pride.
捕猎也存在风险 Hunting is always dangerous.
莱拉和姐妹们必须快速进食 Layla and her sisters must eat quickly
即使这是牠们应得的奖励 if they are to get the reward they deserve.
狮群的守护者尖牙会吃掉最好最多的肉 Fang, the protector,demands the lion's share.
对莱拉而言,捕猎是一场灾难 For Layla, the hunt is a disaster.
牠被一只斑马踢伤 A zebra's kick has injured her further.
保持健康对母狮来说至关重要 Staying fit is critical for a lioness.
狮群不会带着一只极度虚弱的母狮去狩猎 The pride cannot carry a female who is too weak to hunt.
有些不对劲 Something's wrong.
卡里和儿子在巡视地盘 Kali and his sons are on patrol.
狮子是西塔的天敌 Lions are Sita's greatest enemy.
雄狮有猎豹的5倍大 A male is more than five times her size.
作为独居猎豹,牠必须逃离 As a single cheetah, she would flee.
但有幼崽需要保护,牠只能待在自己的领地上 But with dependent cubs,she must hold her ground.
牠的注意力都在卡里身上 She is totally focused on Kali.
难以置信的是,牠竟然向卡里挑衅 Incredibly, she's goading him.
看上去很疯狂,其实只是一项计谋 It seems insane, but it's a trick.
牠的目的是让卡里远离牠的幼崽 She's drawing him away from her cubs.
卡里追累了 Kali tires.It worked.
然而牠的儿子却信心十足 His son, however, is more determined.
西塔奋不顾身而上 Sita is risking everything.
此时是速度为牠赢得了胜利 Her speed has won the day, for now.
牠的幼崽处在被驱赶和迷惘的危险之中 Her terrified cubs are scattered and lost,in danger
直到母亲回到牠们身边 until they're back with their mother.
此刻的时间不再属于牠们 Time is not on their side.
夜色下掩藏着其他的掠食动物 The dark will cloak other predators.
鬣狗劫走了母豹的两只幼崽 It's a mother's worst nightmare.
这是牠最痛心的梦魇 Hyenas have taken two of her cubs.
牠们再也不会回来了 They're gone forever.
季节不断地变化,而狮群的领地开始干旱 The season is changing and the pride lands are drying.
庞大的牛羚群正找寻更优的牧场 The great herds are moving on in search of greener pastures.
牠们可能会消失一年或更久 They may be gone for a year or more.
没有了牛羚群 With the herds gone,
河岸狮群务必要更努力的找寻食物 the River Pride will struggle to find food.
因为伤势,莱拉已精疲力竭 Layla is exhausted by her injuries.
玛拉试图安慰母亲,而牠也只能做这些 Mara tries to comfort her mother,but there is little she can do.
由于兽群迁移,狮群必须尾随而至 With the herds moving on,the pride must follow.
莱拉已没法去了 Layla cannot go on.
牠需要休息身体才有康复的机会 She needs rest so her body can heal.
玛拉面临两难的境地 Mara faces a terrible choice,
留在母亲身边或跟上狮群 stay with her mother or follow the pride.
莱拉呼叫狮群和玛拉 Layla calls to the pride and to Mara,
乞求牠们等牠 begging them to wait for her.
但狮群必须出发去寻找食物 But the pride must leave in search of food.
牠们不能让自己和幼崽处在饿死的险境之中 They cannot jeopardize themselves and the other cubs.
狮群愈走愈远了 The pride moves further and further away.
莱拉勉强起身,试图跟上狮群 Layla forces herself to try and follow.
玛拉等到莱拉同行,却身处险境之中 Mara stays with Layla, but is in danger now.
母女俩已经失去了狮群的保护 Mother and daughter have lost the protection of the pride.
为了女儿,莱拉必须回复体力 Layla must find the strength to catch up,
迎头赶上 For the sake of her daughter.
西塔的幼崽成长的速度很快 Sita's cubs are growing in leaps and bounds.
在牠们心中,牠们就是这里最凶悍的猎人 In their minds,they're the fiercest hunters in the land.
猎豹三兄弟越趋靠近 Enemies approach. Three cheetah brothers.
牠们虽然也是猎豹 They may be fellow cheetahs,
但猎豹兄弟可能会危及西塔的幼崽 but these brothers can be dangerous for Sita's cubs.
幼崽们无法逃过敌人的追捕 They are the one foe she cannot outrun.
兄弟党放弃了追捕 The brothers back down,
但牠们已经隔离了西塔和牠的孩子 but they have separated Sita from her young.
而公猎豹有时会攻击幼猎豹 Male cheetahs will sometimes attack small cubs.
难以置信的是,幼豹还待在原来的地方 Incredibly, the cubs hold their ground.
牠们已有了母亲的气魄 They have their mother's spirit.
这片土地上,绝对是一物降一物 In this land, even bullies get bullied.
母狮长途跋涉后显得疲惫不堪 The lionesses are tired After their long journey.
但幼崽们早早的打断了牠们的午睡时间 But cubs will be cubs and siesta time is soon over.
新玩伴总是很受欢迎 New playmates are always welcome.
好在幼狮无法啃开龟壳 Luckily, he can't get the lid off.
莱拉和玛拉勇闯漫漫长路,终于赶上狮群了 Layla and Mara have braved the long journey and finally caught up.
但牠们的时机不对 But their timing couldn't be worse.
河水水位下降了 The river has fallen.
保障狮群安全的河水已经远去 The pride's protective moat has gone.
卡里抓住机会侵入南部王国 Kali sees his chance to invade the southern kingdom.
牠和大儿子越过满是鳄鱼的水域 Kali and his largest son cross the crocodile-infested waters.
尖牙感觉危机重重 Fang senses the danger.
粗狂的吼声或许会阻止入侵 Sounding strong might deter an attack.
但卡里也不是二B But Kali is not fooled.
尖牙看来要以一敌二了 Fang sees it's two against one.
牠的机会渺茫 His chances are slim.
卡里展开攻击 Kali attacks.
尖牙却没有回应 Fang has no answer.
卡里的儿子也前来助阵 Kali's son threatens, too.
尖牙放弃了狮群,使牠们陷入被动之中 Fang deserts his pride,leaving them unprotected.
卡里夺下了统治权 Kali is poised for takeover.
玛拉可能会被杀死 Mara may be killed.
但母亲会竭尽所能救护牠的幼崽 But a mother will do anything to save her cub.
莱拉是母狮的领袖 Layla is the lionesses leader.
尽管牠身上有伤 Despite her injury,
牠仍置身于入侵者和幼崽的中间 she puts herself between the invaders and the precious cubs.
收到莱拉的鼓舞,其他母狮也群起而攻 Inspired by Layla,the other lionesses attack.
莱拉和母狮们保住了狮群和珍贵的幼崽 Layla and the lionesses have saved the pride and their precious cubs.
卡里无功而返 Kali has lost this battle,
但下次牠可能会带来更多帮手 but next time he may bring reinforcements.
母狮们也拯救了尖牙 Fang has also been saved by the lionesses.
但能维持多久呢? But for how long?
这次攻击付出了惨痛的代价 The attack has taken a terrible toll.
这只小幼狮虽活了下来,却元气大伤 This little cub is badly hurt and lucky to be alive,
但玛拉就无影无踪了 but Mara is nowhere to be found.
莱拉在争斗中遭受另一种致命的打击 Layla has taken Another devastating blow in the fight.
牠把所剩的力量全凝聚在腿上 It takes all her strength just to get to her feet.
牠必须找到玛拉 She must find her Mara.
当母亲意识到绝望,牠只能呼唤牠的孩子 With a mother's desperate hope,she calls for her cub.
玛拉还活着 Mara has survived.
母亲的坚持救了牠 Her mother's bravery has saved her.
没有更伟大的情感 There is no greater bond
能超越母亲和幼狮之间的亲情 than that between a lioness and her cub.
又下雨了,但牛羚群还在千里之外 The rains have returned,but the herds are still far away.
狩猎绝非易事 Hunting is never easy.
现在,西塔也身处险境 Now, it's dangerous for Sita as well.
这是鬣狗 Hyenas.
西塔已经被这些死敌夺去了两只幼崽的生命 Sita has already lost two of her cubs to these deadly enemies.
牠担心的是,鬣狗会劫走剩下的幼崽 Her biggest fear is that they will steal the others.
鬣狗呼救,群体变得愈来愈大 The hyenas call,drawing in more and more of the pack.
牠们知道西塔就躲在某个地方 They know Sita is hiding something.
渐渐地,牠们将包围圈收拢 Bit by bit, they tighten the noose.
鬣狗一直都在吠叫 The hyenas have been kept at bay.
这一次,西塔的勇敢防御救了牠的幼崽 This time, Sita's courageous defense has saved the cubs.
冷雨似倾盆而下 Cold, hard rain.
这种时候对于每种动物来说都很难熬 This is a time of suffering for everyone.
对于河岸狮群来说,冷雨也并不是一无是处 For the River Pride, the cold rain has been a blessing in disguise.
牠们体会到一个庞大的族群更需要协作与守护 It allows them to appreciate the bond and protection of a larger family.
包括莱拉的姊妹们,玛拉,还有牠们的幼崽们 One of Layla's sisters, Malaika,has small cubs of her own.
随着牠的伤势加剧 With her injuries not healing,
莱拉加紧与姊妹们培养出更紧密的族群关系 Layla is drawn closer to her sister's family.
如果莱拉与牠的姊妹关系亲密 If Layla builds a bond with her sister,
玛莱卡可能会像照顾自己的孩子一样照顾玛拉 then Malaika might look after Mara as well as her own cubs.
莱拉时日无多了 Layla's time is short.
加强与姊妹之间的情谊可能是玛拉最好的生存机会 Strengthening the bond with her sister may be Mara's best chance to live.
莱拉可能很快就会离牠的孩子而去 Layla may soon have to give up her cub.
玛拉的生命将取决于与牠愈发亲近的表亲 And Mara's life will depend on getting closer to her cousins.
还好 It's happening.
玛拉开始被玛莱卡和狮群所接纳 Mara is being adopted by Malaika and the pride.
这比狮子彻底冷漠要好得多 There's nothing better for a lion than close companionship.
玛拉安全了 With Mara safe,
莱拉能安心上路 Layla can go.
莱拉离开狮群的时刻到来了 The time has come for Layla to leave the pride
永久的 forever.
莱拉努力找寻一个安静祥和的地方独守寂寞 Layla struggles to find a quiet, safe place to be alone.
狮群现在离牠很远了 The pride is now far away.
玛拉搜索着与母亲有关的气味 Mara searches for any scent,any sign of her mother,
但已经没有了 but it's not there.
孤独的牠与珍贵的幼崽已相距甚远 All alone with her precious cub far away,
最终,莱拉的戎马生涯走到了尽头 Layla, at last, gives up the fight.
西塔孩子们的体型和力量都在增长 Sita's cubs have grown in size and strength,
牠们已经等不及要树立自己的威信 and they can't wait to show off their new powers.
由于入侵失败 Since the failed invasion,
卡里与牠的大儿子在大河南岸潜行觅食 Kali has prowled the southern side of the river with his largest son.
此刻,牠急于呼叫其他的儿子入列 Now, he calls on his other sons To join them.
卡里去接牠的儿子 Kali goes to greet his sons.
牠们分开已经有一段时间了 They have been separated for some time.
这些残酷战士的族群关系相当紧密 The family bonds between these ruthless fighters are very strong.
但牠们之间也有争斗 But there is also fierce rivalry between them.
牠们都希望称王 They all want the crown.
但牠们的父亲卡里 But Kali is their father
很清楚的告诉牠们,牠才是国王 and he lets them know that he is still king.
群策群力,让牠们成为这片土地上最强悍的力量 Together, they are the most powerful force in the land.
群策群力,让牠们能用其他方式攻击尖牙和河岸狮群 Together, they will make another assault on Fang and the River Pride.
尖牙的领导地位已岌岌可危 Fang's future as leader is hanging by a thread.
几个月来,幼狮已成长为青壮年狮子了 As the months have passed,the cubs have grown into young adults.
玛拉在这个融洽的族群众茁壮成长 Within this close-knit family,Mara has thrived.
牠现在正值青年 She is now a teenager in lion years.
河岸狮群的亲情纽带从来没有这么紧密过 The bonds of affection within the River Pride have never been stronger.
卡里和牠的儿子前来寻仇 Kali and his sons are coming with a vengeance.
尖牙被敌人盯上了 Fang's enemies lock in.
牠们发动攻击 They launch the attack.
尖牙唯一的举动就是逃跑 Fang's only hope is escape.
牠为生存而逃离 He runs for his life.
若尖牙留下便会遭到沉痛打击 Fang will be shown no mercy if he stays.
卡里帮胜利了 Kali's gang is victorious,
尖牙再也没有出现 and Fang is never seen again.
此时入侵者又攻击在休息的河岸狮群 Now the invaders attack the rest of the River Pride.
战斗很快结束 The fighting is over.
卡里和牠的儿子统治了这里 Kali and his sons rule.
现在大河两岸都尊崇牠们的游戏规则 Their will is now law on both sides of the river.
卡里的儿子试图与母狮们和平共处 Kali's sons try to make peace with the lionesses.
但在争斗中青年狮子都被驱离了 But in the battle the youngsters were driven away.
母狮失去孩子的心仍在滴血 The pain of losing them is still too fresh.
狮群中的年轻雄狮现在身处险境 The pride's young males are in the greatest danger.
卡里帮很敌视牠们,且会追捕牠们 Kali's gang view them as a threat and hunt them down.
玛拉也在争斗中逃跑了 Mara also fled in the battle,
但作为母狮,危险只是暂时的 but as a lioness, is in less danger.
第一次独立生活的牠感到很孤独 For the first time in her life,she is alone.
牠已经失去了所有 She has lost everything.
卡里帮驱逐玛拉的年轻雄性表亲 Kali's gang drive out Mara's young male cousins,
牠们被永久流放于狮群的领地之外 banishing them from the pride lands forever.
而唯一的生路只有越过大河 And there is only one escape route,across the river.
大河水位上涨 The river has swollen,
但年轻雄狮别无选择,只能强渡 but the young males have no choice but to cross.
而现在是鳄鱼的活跃时间 And now,the crocodiles have the advantage.
年轻雄狮知道水下有埋伏 The youngsters know what lurks just beneath,
但牠们害怕卡里远胜于害怕鳄鱼 but they fear Kali more than they fear crocodiles.
彷徨之后牠们依然跳入深水之中 The current drags them down into deeper water.
只有牠们的头露出水面 They are in over their heads in every sense.
牠们成功脱逃 They've escaped,
而且刚刚击败了鳄鱼的利齿 But just by the skin of a crocodile's teeth.
随着与南岸狮群的战争打响 With all the warring between lions south of the river,
生活在北岸的西塔目前安全无虞 life in the north has been relatively carefree for Sita.
其幼崽正值青壮年 The cubs have grown to young adults,
但牠们仍童心未泯 but they're still cubs at heart.
西塔也没有停止训练牠们 Sita is not finished with their training.
牠们的行程另有安排 It's time for another journey,
那里可以学到求生历程中的重要课程 one where they can learn the final lessons they'll need to survive.
第一课,水牛脾气暴躁 Lesson one, buffalo are very grumpy.
第二课,只追捕经验尚浅的鸵鸟 Lesson two,Never get fresh with an ostrich.
稀树草原是最广阔的课堂 The savanna is the greatest schoolyard,
但有些其他的猫科动物却与众不同 but some of the other kids are a bit different.
一只在草丛中嬉戏的薮猫 A serval cat is drafted into a game of tag.
牠们对薮猫木有兴趣 It's no fun for the serval,
但年轻的猎豹可以随心的测试 but the young cheetahs can safely test their skills
尚未成熟的牙齿和爪子的力度 against smaller teeth and claws.
难道没有一只猎豹愿意追逐犬科动物吗 And wouldn't every cat just love to chase a dog?
一只大小适中的豺犬 A jackal is the perfect size.
第三课,即使是小型犬科动物也会狗急跳墙 Lesson three,even little dogs bite back.
第四课 Lesson four,
是鬣狗 hyenas.
年轻猎豹要清楚记住年轻时与鬣狗遭遇 The cubs remember all too well Their terrifying encounters with hyenas
是多么的可怕 when they were small.
现在牠们须学会树立自己的立场 Now, they must learn to stand their ground.
年轻猎豹最终会与鬣狗和平共处 The cubs have finally come to terms with hyenas.
牠们会成长为独居的猎豹 They're close to becoming independent cheetahs.
但不是现在 But not just yet.
随着大风吹过家园 With her family blown to the wind,
玛拉发现独自生活也是一项挑战 Mara has found living alone a challenge.
由于没有群体协作狩猎,牠正处饥饿之中 With no pride to hunt with her, she's going hungry.
疣猪似乎是完美的餐点,体型不大,美味而容易猎捕 Warthogs seem to be the perfect meal,small, tasty and easy to catch.
实际上却不是那么简单 Not quite so easy after all.
兽群还没有回来 The herds are still gone,
玛拉用尽办法捕猎 and all the other alternatives seem to be
包括大型猎物 super-sized.
但年轻的狮子觉得牠们是麻烦的对手 But young lions think they're a match for anything.
如果玛拉采用西塔的战术,就能避开脾气暴躁的水牛 If only Mara had taken Sita's class in avoiding grumpy buffalo.
现在牠切实的体会到了失去家园的痛苦 Now the real cost of losing her family is painfully clear.
幸好玛拉在被驱逐之前学会了打猎 Mara was driven out before she learnt to hunt.
西塔越过大河到南岸猎捕瞪羚 The gazelles that Sita hunts have crossed the river to the south.
牠必须紧跟瞪羚或瞪羚群以免饿死 She must follow them or her family will starve.
对于年轻猎豹,这可能是牠们最危险的课程 For the cubs, this may be their most dangerous lesson yet.
西塔很少穿越大河 Sita rarely crosses the river.
牠清楚这一举措生死攸关 She knows it's deadly.
此刻牠们进入了卡里的新领地 They have just entered Kali's new realm.
河岸狮群的母狮 The River Pride lionesses
再次宣示对狮群领地的所有权 once again proclaim their ownership of the pride lands.
牠们已经与卡里和睦共处 They have made peace with Kali.
牠们的新统治者已开始倾力保护牠们 Their new ruler has become a committed protector.
玛拉依然是一个弃者 Mara is still an outcast.
由于食物匮乏,母狮不愿意让玛拉分一杯羹 With food scarce, the lionesses don't want Mara taking a share.
牠必须自己谋生 She must fend for herself.
这似乎很严苛 It seems harsh,
但其他母狮有新的问题要考虑 but the other lionesses have new priorities.
那是幼崽 Cubs.
牠们是卡里的孩子 Kali's cubs.
卡里已经达成牠的夙愿 Kali has achieved his goal.
母狮们现在哺育的幼崽不是尖牙的骨肉 The lionesses are now raising his cubs, not Fang's.
西塔和家人自信的漫步在卡里的领地 Sita and her family confidently stride across Kali's land.
年轻猎豹现在有信心 The young cheetahs now have the confidence
去挑战旅途中的一切 to challenge everything in their path.
包括狮子 Even lions.
但还需等待 But wait.
年轻猎豹还不了解狮群中狮子的生活模式 The young cheetahs have yet to learn that lions live in prides.
猎人现在变成了猎物 The hunters are being hunted.
这个教训是狮子没在狩猎时 This lesson is not hunting lions,
必须远离牠们 it's escaping them!
卡里出现 Kali.
终止了这场追逐 The game is over.
最重要的一课是 The most important lesson,
千万不要去惹狮子 never mess with lions.
这是玛拉和所有的狮子一直期盼的景象 The sight that Mara and all the lions have been longing for.
终于,庞大的牛羚群回到了狮群的领地 At last the great herds are returning to the pride lands.
对于狮子而言,美好时光又回来了 For the lions, the good times are back.
由于狮群领地的食物充盈 With the pride lands rich again,
玛拉终于有机会结束牠的饥饿 it's also a chance for Mara to end her hunger.
不再饥饿的玛拉有了新的想法 No longer hungry,Mara has one last goal,
就是重新得到河岸狮群的接纳 to be accepted back into the River Pride.
西塔任务完成 Sita's work is done.
牠教会孩子们必须知道的 She has taught her cubs everything they need to know
关于荒野的一切 about this wilderness.
幼崽们也在艰困的环境中幸存下来 The cubs have survived the toughest of upbringings,
但现在牠们知道什么是安全 but now they know what's safe,
什么是危险,关键是牠们学会了捕猎 what's dangerous and, above all, how to hunt.
西塔知道牠的孩子们自谋生路的时候到了 Sita knows her cubs are ready to fend for themselves.
牠必须要回到猎豹独居的生活 She must return to the solitary life of a cheetah.
只有母亲才有克服一切困难的勇气 Against all odds, with the courage that only a mother can bring,
西塔养大了三只矫健的猎豹 Sita has raised three magnificent cheetahs.
玛拉已经没有希望回到母亲 Mara is desperate to rejoin her mother's pride
生养牠的狮群 into which she was born,
但玛莱卡和母狮们会接纳牠吗? but will Malaika and the lionesses welcome her back?
母狮终于接纳玛拉返回族群当中 The lionesses have finally accepted Mara back into their family.
对莱拉的孩子来说,牠的奋勇抗敌没有白费 Layla's brave fight for her cub to live on was not in vain.
河岸狮群重新壮大了 The River Pride is reborn.
西塔的孩子和玛拉 Sita's cubs and Mara
能够幸存是母爱最鲜明的体现 are living proof of the power of a mother's love.
猎豹幼崽各奔前程
牠们现在是漫步在草原上的独居成年猎豹
西塔成为了草原上已知最成功的母猎豹之一
玛拉与牠关系密切的同伴母狮一起茁壮成长
牠也做好了当母亲的准备
卡里任然是大河两岸的最高统治者
我们也一直追寻着尖牙的踪迹
影片全部在肯尼亚马赛马拉国家公园的荒野拍摄完成
