动物文字稿
00:10Many tales have been told of Africa, but this is our story.
00:21A drama set in the heart of our world, experienced as we live and breathe it.
00:33Our world is changing, our lives are in danger, but we still have each other, and family is
00:50something worth fighting for.
00:54This is the next chapter in our story, in a place they call Serengeti.
01:00Serengeti.
01:03Serengeti.
01:07Serengeti.
01:10She is here.
01:19Serengeti.
01:36Drought has gripped our land.
01:44The hippos are among the first to suffer.
01:57Like the rest, Mafuta and his mother are clinging on in what little water remains.
02:07The bull that once took over their pod and made them flee has invaded their only refuge.
02:21And they aren't the only ones in trouble.
02:29What was once a lifeline is now a death trap.
02:44Those who can, flee.
02:56The elephants could always dig for water, but now even their wells are running dry.
03:09Kodogo is exhausted, but staying here means death.
03:24His only hope is to follow Nala's lead, and leave their last remaining sanctuary behind.
03:55Escape from a drought that will come for us all.
04:04Bakari has made his choice.
04:07Return to a copy that was once their home.
04:16Here, they'll find relief from the searing heat below.
04:27A coolness on the breeze.
04:40But there's one thing they're missing.
04:48Ha ha ha ha.
04:52Ha ha ha.
04:59Sabotá ha ha.
05:18As long as it lasts, water will be their saviour.
05:27Bakari's bought his troop a little more time.
05:30But they can't wait out the drought forever.
05:40Through it all, the lions stayed on their copy, feeding on the desperate passing by.
05:50Now food is far harder to find, but change is in the air.
06:01And not a moment too soon.
06:04Is this on the leash, you see?
06:10Uh-huh.
06:12Yeah, go.
06:28Look!
06:54The hippos didn't hold on in vain.
06:58Mafuta is saved.
07:10As is Godogo and his family.
07:40The hippos didn't hold on in vain.
07:45As the lake fills, Mafuta is freed from his muddy prison.
07:54He'll join the Exodus, buoyed by the promise of life reborn.
08:10As the land is restored, so are our hopes.
08:18The returning herds bring food for many, including a new family of leopard cubs.
08:44When play is over, adventure beckons.
08:54But not what they might want.
09:09He should have kept his feelings to himself.
09:22Bakari can't abide leopards.
09:26Even the tiniest.
09:31Two cubs alone is an opportunity too good to miss.
09:40How hard can it be?
09:54But wherever a big baboon can go, a little cub can go higher.
10:10And this little cub is a fighter.
10:21Bakari's tried his best.
10:23But perhaps his son can do better.
10:31And Ntoto has high ambitions.
10:44Until he sees what he's facing.
10:54And now it's not just the cubs to worry about.
10:57Lookit!
11:06Lookit!
11:10Lookit!
11:11Lookit!
11:13Lookit!
11:16Lookit!
11:18Lookit!
11:19Lookit!
11:21Lookit!
11:23Let over him!
11:25He cut the money out of my mouth!
11:25He's dead!
11:25He's dead!
11:27Oh.
11:28Her cubs are safe.
11:34Bakari's troop are not.
11:41Retreat the only choice.
11:51For the leopards, a reunion.
11:57Their mother is Mzuri.
12:02She and her sister Dada were cubs themselves not long ago.
12:21Mzuri is still just as playful as she was back then.
12:35But life is now full of responsibilities too.
12:45For Bakari's troop, their kopi still provides sanctuary.
12:53All around, new life is flourishing, including among the giraffes.
13:23This is Trigga, a newborn still getting to know his mother.
13:30And his mother getting to know him.
13:52Like all of us, he's born not knowing danger.
13:57But danger soon finds him.
14:02And there are few more dangerous than Kali.
14:15Tch, Tch, Tch, Tch.
14:32Tch, Tch.
14:35Twigga's mother uses her body as a shield.
14:54She must show she's ready to take Kali on.
15:00First, a warning.
15:09But Twigga has fallen.
15:20She must join him in the gully.
15:28And defend him there.
15:33But help is on the way.
15:48And a friend lures Kali away.
16:00It's a battle Kali doesn't need.
16:06A reprieve for Twigga.
16:17Kali's days of hunting alone should really be over.
16:22But old habits die hard.
16:29She now has Askari to help her.
16:34And a pride to help look after her cubs.
16:49Duma has left the cheetah coalition and is back hunting on his own.
16:58Working alone, he can choose the food he likes, knowing it won't be stolen from him.
17:15A wildebeest calf is the perfect meal for one.
17:43A triumph.
17:46But one seen by others.
18:06Duma may have left the coalition, but they're not ready to leave him.
18:17He's the hunter who keeps providing.
18:24Now, they need him far more than he needs them.
18:30Somehow, they must find a way to work together.
18:48Like the land, the river is being restored to its former glory.
18:55Having left the lake, the hippos have returned.
19:04Now, they're going to work together.
19:05They're going to work together.
19:07They're going to work together.
19:09They're going to work together.
19:10Mafuta and his mother are with them.
19:18At last, they can enjoy the space the river provides.
19:25A time of hardship gives way to a time of play.
19:56It's not just other hippos that provide the entertainment.
20:23But the river's rebirth also attracts the unwelcome.
20:28F
20:49for the feared a chance to reassert their power.
20:54Fr
21:02The crocodiles are commandeering the hippo's beach.
21:13One by one, they come.
21:36Until there's no space left for the hippo's.
21:52On the plains, there's space a-plenty, but it's filling up fast.
22:05Everyone's struggling to keep themselves to themselves.
22:26For the mongoose, the herds bring fresh opportunities.
22:31Their dung attracts insects looking for a place to lay their eggs.
22:36A good meal if you're willing to dig for it.
22:48The pup the Tutani looks after stays close by, still learning from her teacher's example.
23:05There are plenty of new delicacies to try, as well as some old favourites.
23:22This time, the warthogs have their own young in tow.
23:40It's not the warm welcome the mongoose are used to.
23:52The hoglets aren't ready to be groomed by the mob.
24:06They have far better things to do.
24:21For Utani, now is the moment he's been waiting for.
24:25The mother warthog is alone.
24:29The mother-in-law is alone.
24:29I don't know.
25:00When it all gets too much, they still have the dung to return to.
25:09And even when the food's gone, it provides other pleasures too.
25:30The hippo's indulgence is sunbathing.
25:35But the crocodiles have put an end to that.
25:38They've taken over the bank, and no one is willing to challenge them.
25:47Except, perhaps, one.
25:51Mafuta's mother has never been afraid to take on crocodiles.
26:00And crocodiles aren't used to not being feared.
26:20Even so, it's best to start with a nibble.
26:27And then another.
26:45With his mother setting the example,
26:48Mafuta is growing in confidence.
26:54Perhaps too much confidence?
27:07Working together, they've cleared the beach.
27:22And Mafuta can enjoy the rewards.
27:37Duma is back hunting again.
27:46This time, he's after a bigger meal.
27:57Like it or not, he's hunting for all.
28:06As the best hunter, they let him go first.
28:13When the topi looks, Duma freezes.
28:33But has he been seen?
28:39He holds his nerve and picks his moment.
29:09Once again, the victory is Duma's.
29:14The others just joined for the spoils.
29:21Duma still takes the risks,
29:23while the others reap the rewards.
29:28Something has to change.
29:36Nearby, Twigga is learning with each new day.
29:58He awaits instruction.
30:08Today's lesson is about eating leaves.
30:15But acacia trees are armed with thorns.
30:19They need careful handling.
30:28Twigga is wise to be cautious.
30:47He starts on the more tender shoots.
31:05Next up, are those with thorns.
31:08Next up, are those with thorns.
31:13But having fun is all he really wants to do.
31:25Here, there is plenty to entertain.
31:28Here, there is plenty to entertain.
31:36There, there is plenty to entertain.
31:43It's not some of them.
31:43Here, there is plenty to do.
31:43There, plenty to entertain.
31:44There, plenty to entertain.
31:47Let's go.
31:53Oh, here, there.
32:04Suddenly, excitement fades to fear.
32:09Twigger is on his own.
32:13Or so he thought.
32:27He's found a friend.
32:45The world's not so scary with a playmate by your side.
32:54But now, they're even further from their mothers.
33:01Tonight, they'll only have each other to rely on.
33:06A big ask for one so little.
33:23Dawn.
33:24It's playtime for Mzuri and her cubs.
33:30They're growing fast and are full of energy.
33:41But energy needs feeding.
33:46Mzuri must bring them back a meal.
33:53A newly replenished watering hole should draw in the herds.
34:02Already, their traces are all around.
34:06Her senses haven't failed her.
34:11I'm going to boil her.
34:13I know.
34:15I see.
34:40Oh, my God.
34:45There's always one slower than the rest.
35:09It took strength to bring it down.
35:12It will need even more to drag it back to her cubs.
35:16It will need more to drag it back to her cubs.
35:48It will need more to drag it back to her cubs.
36:06It will need more to drag it back to her cubs.
36:24It will need more to drag it back to her cubs.
36:52It will need more to drag it back to her cubs.
37:20It will need more to drag it back to her cubs.
37:57It will need more to drag it back to her cubs.
38:20It will need more to drag it back to her cubs.
38:37It will need more to drag it back to her cubs.
38:56It will need more to drag it back to her cubs.
39:13It will need more to drag it back to her cubs.
39:32It will need more to drag it back to her cubs.
40:30It will need more to drag it back to her cubs.
40:31It will need more to drag it back to her cubs.
40:33It will need more to drag it back to her cubs.
40:37Just as Mzuri's mother taught her.
40:50Wisdom is passed on from generation to generation.
40:56And lives on through the young.
41:01Never more so than with the elephants.
41:13Kadogo was the youngest member of his family.
41:19But not anymore.
41:31His playmate-to-be is still struggling to stand.
41:40But has all the help he needs from more experienced mothers.
41:53As they pass on their wisdom to his mother.
42:07Kadogo is keen to meet the new baby.
42:15He can't wait to have someone new to play with.
42:23But he must be patient.
42:25The baby is still finding his feet.
42:34Kadogo is not the only one celebrating.
42:41From afar, many great tuskers have journeyed here to share this special moment.
42:48The blason.
42:50Even live.
43:17The force worked.
43:29LEADING THE WAY IS THE FATHER.
43:42Our world connects in mysterious ways.
43:48Somehow, he knew this was the time.
43:56A baby born, destined to roam the plains, as his father does,
44:02and as his father did before him.
44:09For now, a brief moment to meet his new-born son.
44:18Witnessed by a gathering of the greatest and wisest in the land.
44:27As mysteriously as he came, he leaves.
44:34A moment to share before they vanish and are gone.
44:46For the new-born, a lifetime of discovery has only just begun.
45:01After his scare, Twigga stays close to his mother.
45:09But one taste of adventure is never enough.
45:17He'll make more friends if he can.
45:23It's never as hard as you think it might be.
45:53But when he's older, it will be different.
46:00He'll meet rivals and have to defend himself.
46:10It's a glimpse into the future.
46:23But for now, future rivals are friends.
46:31Someone to practice with.
46:53Play-fighting prepares them for the real battles ahead.
47:07For now, though, it's just a game.
47:22Even so, his mother keeps an eye on him.
47:34The fighting goes on into the night.
47:42While everyone else heads out to the plains.
48:03Twigga's journey as a young giraffe is only just beginning.
48:11But he has all the support he'll ever need.
48:24The sun rises again for the cheetahs.
48:30But for Duma, the new day means more of the same.
48:35Hunting bigger prey for others.
48:40Elend, the greatest antelope of all.
48:45A huge risk for Duma.
48:56Again, he boldly takes the lead.
49:20And again, it's Duma who makes the running.
49:45No cheetah should tackle an eland alone.
49:49Their kicks are deadly.
50:05He is lucky to survive.
50:08But this time, the others take over.
50:14Has Duma inspired them to take the same risk?
50:33The last one follows to secure their triumph.
50:40While Duma is cautious.
50:46For once, this wasn't his kill.
50:52And for once, they treat Duma with respect.
50:58Finally, they are working as a team.
51:08And Duma has been accepted.
51:12Not just as a hunter, but as a fully valued member of the coalition.
51:34The hippo's peace once again has been broken.
51:40The bull, who once took over the pod, is back.
51:49But is he still a danger to Mafuta?
51:53Or has the bull found a way to be accepted?
52:02Maybe they are starting to get along.
52:06The bull now has no reason to fight.
52:11And besides, Mafuta is older now.
52:21He'll be fine if he just shows respect.
52:28Mafuta's mother is now accepting the bull as leader.
52:39Here, grudges can't be held forever.
52:48With acceptance, Mafuta gains a powerful protector.
52:54And his mother gains a potential mate.
53:01Mafuta is growing in confidence too.
53:06And Magamba isn't the threat she used to be.
53:21Is this another chance to forget old rivalries?
53:31As his mother has, with the new bull.
53:54As his mother has, with the new bull.
54:01Rivalries can become friendships too.
54:11Duma and his new best friends have returned to the lake as equals.
54:18After drought and struggle, our land is entering a time of change.
54:25And the best is yet to come.
54:43The flamingos are returning, back from lands beyond.
54:58A sign of life renewed.
55:08The lake restored as all life returns.
55:17For once, Bakari doesn't have to fight for his troops' survival.
55:23His duty is done.
55:25For now.
55:26For now.
55:27For now.
55:30For now.
55:45For now.
55:58The APIs
