美洲狮：冰山上的传奇（2021）

对羊驼群来说只有一件事
means only one thing to a guanaco herd...
美洲狮之地
Land of the pumas.
兀鹫王国
Realm of the condor.
冰冷的空气，温暖的眼睛
Icy air, warm eyes.
一位成功的女猎手生了四只美洲狮小猫
Four puma kittens are born to a successful huntress.
这是一个极端的国度
It is a land of extremes.
美丽
Of beauty.
惊喜
Of surprises.
这是托雷斯·德尔·佩恩的土地，
It is the land of Torres del Paine,
智利南部，
in Southern Chile,
蓝色的冰山耸立
where the blue ice mountains tower
这只美洲狮家族的血统
over this single puma family bloodline.
美洲狮 冰山上的传奇
Pumas Legends of the Ice Mountains
如果你追随世界末日的足迹，
If you follow the footprints near the end of the world,
它们会带你去智利的高山
they will lead you to the high mountains of Chile.
这是一直存在的风似乎在那里
It's where the ever-present wind seems
低语着古老的心跳
to whisper of an ancient heartbeat.
神话说的是一个统治着这里的土地
Myths speak of one who rules the land here...
...而这些猫，完全适应了
...and these cats, that are perfectly adapted
生活在这寒冷的环境中
to living in this frigid landscape.
它们是美洲狮，
They are pumas,
冰山的传说
the legends of the ice mountains.
它们是权力和力量的象征
They're a symbol of power and strength
适用于其范围内的众多文化
to so many cultures in their range.
以及它们守护的土地
And the land they guard
一直延伸到安第斯山脉，
stretches all the way down the Andes,
绵延5000英里的安第斯山脉
the 5,000 miles of the Cordillera de los Andes.
在智利，
It is in Chile,
就在大南方冰原的内陆，
just inland from the great Southern Ice Fields,
世界上最大的淡水储备地之一，
one of the largest freshwater reserves in the world,
我们的故事开始了
that our story begins.
这里也是安第斯兀鹫统治天空的地方
It is also here that the great Andean condor rules the skies
在南美洲多山的脊梁之上
above this mountainous backbone of South America.
同样的古代神话宣称，
The same ancient myths claim that,
美洲狮统治着这片土地，
while the pumas rule the land,
兀鹫是天上诸神的使者
condors are the messengers of the gods in the heavens.
没有天和地，就没有完整的故事，
And no story is complete without heaven and earth,
在这里，两者似乎相遇了
and here, the two seem to meet.
这是一个叫托雷斯·德尔·佩恩的地方
It's a place called Torres del Paine.
兀鹫翅膀的影子
The shadows of the condor's wings
今天，掠过一个特殊的美洲狮的家
touch one particular family of pumas today.
我们称呼她的名称:独居者
We'll call her Solitaria.
它仪表堂堂，彬彬有礼
She is sleek and gracious
似乎总是在地平线上搜寻
and seems to be always searching the horizon for clues.
兀鹫通常是最先降落到腐肉上的鸟类
Caracaras are often the first birds to descend onto carrion.
这可能就是它想要的
It may be what she's after.
幼崽大约三个月大，
The cubs are about three months old,
正是它们冒险走向世界的时候，
just about time for them to venture out into the world,
在它们的母亲之后
after their mother.
它会让它们的感官充满气味和声音，
It'll flood their senses with scents and sounds,
有着诱人的追逐目标
with tempting sights of things to chase.
一只幼崽特别接近
One cub is particularly close.
这并没有让独居者的工作变得更容易
It doesn't make Solitaria's job any easier.
虚惊一场
False alarm.
它得去打猎了
She'll have to go off hunting.
在巴塔哥尼亚山麓，
Out here in these Patagonian foothills,
风不停地吹着，
the wind is constant,
这让美洲狮更难偷偷摸摸
and that makes sneaking around much more difficult for a puma.
如果没有羊驼群，托雷斯·德尔·潘恩的故事并不完整
No story of Torres del Paine is complete
without that of the herds of guanacos.
哨兵把鼻子对准风
A sentinel aims his nose into the wind.
尽管羊驼数量很大，
Despite being very prolific,
其中大约有50万头在南美洲，
with probably half a million of them in South America,
羊驼有一个独特的问题
guanacos have a unique problem...
...这让它们以一种非常具体的方式适应
...and it makes them adapt in a very specific way.
它们在一天中合适的时间聚集，
They gather at exactly the right time of day,
在正确的月份开始一个仪式--
at exactly the right month, to start a ritual --
生孩子
to give birth.
它发生在中午前几个小时和中午后几个小时，
It happens a few hours before midday and a few after,
每年的11月，在炎热的天气里
in November, in the heat, each year.
它们已经将这种改编进行了微调
They've fine-tuned this as an adaptation
因为羊驼的舌头太短了
because guanacos have tongues that are just too short
伸出它们的嘴唇，
to extend beyond their lips,
所以它们根本无法把新生儿舔干净
so they simply cannot lick a newborn clean.
分娩时机选择中午，这样它就可以自己干了
Birthing is perfectly timed so he can dry out on his own.
这是一只雄性叫chulengo，它只有10分钟的站立时间
It's a male chulengo, and he has just 10 minutes to stand.
它们中只有四分之一能进入第一年，
Only one in four of them will make it to their first year,
通过生活在这里的美洲狮的挑战
through the gauntlet of pumas that live here.
[唧唧声]
[ Chirps ]
这对羊驼群来说是紧张的几个小时
It's a tense few hours for the herd.
小chulengo的截止时间，
But the little chulengo makes the cutoff time,
虽然不是非常优雅，
albeit not terribly elegantly,
但这是它未来25年的良好开端
but it's a good start to his next 25 years.
这些都是兀鹫们关注的事，
And these are the events that condors look out for,
四个中的另外三个没有成功
the other three of the four that don't make it.
独居者又开始行动了
Solitaria is on the move again...
...跟着鸟儿
...following the birds.
这一次，它得到了回报
This time, it pays off.
小猫们就要吃肉了
The kittens are about to be introduced to meat
这是第一次
for the first time.
是别人杀的，
It's someone else's kill,
或者它正在清理的自然死亡
or a natural death that she is scavenging.
独居者做的比你想象的要多得多
Solitaria does a lot more of that than you'd expect
来自一位声名显赫的女猎手
from a huntress of her reputation.
小母猫
The little female kitten
它身上的斑点比其它人多
with more spots on her body than the others
离得更近，更投入
stays closer, more engaged.
当它的兄弟姐妹玩耍时，它游戏“猎杀”它的母亲
When her siblings play, she "hunts" her mother.
冰山上的声音在这里并不长久
The voices on the Ice Mountain are not silent here for long.
在托雷斯，一天四季都在变化，
In Torres, seasons change in a day,
一阵刺骨的寒意把所有的东西都挤成了一团
snapping cold sending everything into a huddle.
火烈鸟，本该已经飞到北方了，
Flamingos, that you'd expect to have flown north by now,
留下来，
have stayed,
适应最微妙的平衡，
adapting with the most delicate of balances,
提高体温，
raising their body temperatures,
同时保持热量燃烧
but also preserving calorie burn.
这些羊驼的土地
These fields of guanacos
属于一只独居的雄性美洲狮--
belong to a single, dominant male puma --
拉罗卡，“岩石”
La Roca, "The Rock."
它是这里最忙的雄性狮
He's the busiest puma here.
每次下雪，
Every time it snows,
它所有的领土标记都被遮住了
all his territorial markings get covered.
它的领地广阔，与独居者的领地重叠，
His is a vast territory, that overlaps Solitaria's,
所以它一直在做标记
so he's constantly on the move.
如果它在一个角落无人看管，
If he leaves one corner unattended for a moment,
新的年轻的雄性美洲狮会突然出现，并接管
young puma males pop up, looking to take over.
La Roca的气味今天太新鲜了，
La Roca's scent is just too fresh today,
由年轻雄性狮决定
and the young male decides
还是谨慎行事，下一个山谷吧
on discretion, and the next valley.
如果可能的话，雄性美洲狮会避免战斗
Male pumas will avoid a battle,if at all possible.
当风从冰原上疾驰而下
As the wind races off the ice fields
在山上，空气中的水汽都冻住了
and up the mountains, it freezes the air.
一切都象在易碎的玻璃上移♥动♥，
Everything moves as if on fragile glass,
象珍贵的水晶，呼吸一下就会碎
on precious crystals that'll break with a breath.
[呼噜声]
[ Snorting ]
独居者正在移♥动♥中
Solitaria is on the move.
它以前见过这些冬天
She's seen these winters before.
它知道如何利用它
She knows how to turn it to her advantage.
脚下的地面嘎吱作响
The ground crunches underfoot.
如果它扔一块鹅卵石，游戏就结束了
If she flips a pebble, the game will be up.
跟踪很难
