最先觅食回来的成员
The first back from foraging
已经冲到了他身边

但看起来为时已晚
But it looks like it's too late.
阿♥拉♥夫浑身是新鲜的血液和深深的咬痕
Aarav is covered in fresh blood and deep bites.
附近，不再躲藏，
Nearby, no longer in hiding,
是洛奇
is Loci.
他终于向一位首领发起了挑战
He's finally challenged an alpha.
没有了他的心腹打手，
And without his Henchmen,
看来阿♥拉♥夫输掉了这场战斗
it appears Aarav lost the fight.
但接管一个族群
But a troop takeover
并不像打败首领那么简单
is not as simple as beating up the alpha.
洛奇现在必须赢得雌猴们的支持
Loci must now get the females on his side.
她们自四年前阿♥拉♥夫掌权以来
They've been loyal to Aarav
一直对他很忠诚
since he seized power four years ago.
从她们正在照料他伤口的样子来看...
And by the way they are tending to his wounds...
..看来她们仍然忠诚
..it looks like they still are.
毕竟，阿♥拉♥夫一直是个好领袖...

但朱迪思和家族的其他成员

需要现实一点

它们需要一个强大的首领，

and father hardy babies.
朱迪思在族群里至少见证了三任首领的更迭
Judith has seen at least three alphas come and go
在她的一生中
in her lifetime with the troop.
她总是希望为她的女儿们和孙辈们

争取最好的
for her daughters and grandchildren.
阿♥拉♥夫面临一个艰难的选择
Aarav faces a difficult choice.
家族需要他证明自己是最佳选择
The family need him to prove he is the best option.
有心腹打手在身边，
With his Henchmen by his side,
他可以尝试再次与洛奇战斗
he could try to fight Loci again.
但他的伤势会让他处于劣势
But his injuries will put him at a disadvantage.
他可能会丧命
He could lose his life.
另一种选择是退位...
The alternative is to stand down...
..允许洛奇夺取权力
..and allow Loci to seize power.
'但现在，'
'But for now,'
阿♥拉♥夫被迫将所有决定搁置
Aarav is forced to put all decisions on hold.
一场风暴正在酝酿
A storm is brewing.
新加坡位于赤道以北仅一度...
Singapore lies just one degree north of the equator...
..那里总是炎热潮湿
..where it's always hot and humid.
而现在正值季风季节
And right now, it's monsoon season.
每隔几天，厚重的雨云就会滚滚而来

天空变暗

乌云笼罩着城市

不寻常的冷风给空气带来了寒意
Unusual cold winds bring a chill to the air.
雨水持续不断
The rains keep coming.
新加坡正经历着一股寒流

在丛林里，
In the jungle,
比街道上还要寒冷
it's even chillier than the streets.
山丘帮本应在树上躲避
The Hill Troop should take shelter in the trees.
但阿♥拉♥夫消失了
But Aarav has disappeared.
没有了他，家族群龙无首
Without him, the family have no leader.
没有人来做决定
No one to make the decisions.
洛奇做出了最后的行动
Loci makes his final move.
由于无人挑战...
And with no one to challenge him...
..他取代了位置，
..he takes his place
成为山丘帮的新首领
as new alpha of the Hill Troop.
不到两公里外，
Just under 2km away,
在他街道的边缘，
on the edge of his streets,

无休止的雨水考验着莎拉作为新妈妈的力量

几天来，马克斯的生命一直处于危险之中

他只有一层薄薄的新生毛发
He only has a thin layer of newborn hair.
他很容易感冒
And he could easily catch a cold.
高阶雌猴们挤在一起

以保持它们的幼崽干燥

莎拉独自尽力而为
Sara does her best on her own.
她庇护着马克斯

直到雨势终于减弱

暴雨过后，莎拉迅速让马克斯暖和起来
With the storms passed, Sara quickly gets Max warmed up.
如果他能保持健康，那将是她的努力
If he stays healthy, it will be her efforts
使他渡过了难关
that brought him through.
马克斯可能生来就是低等级雌猴的孩子...
Max may have been born to a low-ranked female...
..但莎拉正在被证明是他所能期望的最好的妈妈
..but Sara is proving to be the best mum he could hope for.
躲避了几天之后，
After days of sheltering,
马克斯同父异母的哥哥姐姐们
Max's older half brothers and sisters
精力充沛，跃跃欲试

如果马克斯能再活几周，

这些年来，马特努尔生育了大约50个孩子

遗憾的是，并非所有都存活了下来

到那时，马特努尔将不再是首领
