2017年7月18日晚上在马拉马拉北部与克鲁格的边界一带，观察员看到马特娃娃脸雄狮加入了四路狮群！
四路狮群是马特雄狮兄弟统治的第一个狮群，狮群里有2头成年母狮和4个亚成年，这4个亚成年出生于2015年11月中后旬，如今1岁8个月大，再坚持半年，应该就能独立生存了。4个亚成年当中有2个是雄性，如果马特娃娃脸能够守护到它们长大，也许以后有机会结成父子3狮联盟，，，，
7月18日摄影师更新在londolozi拍到的马特娃娃脸雄狮，娃娃脸当时正在琢磨它的晚餐如何解决。照片应该是之前的旧照，，，

图为Plains营地的地主雄狮，照片拍摄于2016年，这个联盟的领地位于萨 比森马拉马拉中部东边的克鲁格Rhino Plains区域，是马特雄狮的东部的邻居，这个联盟应该是由2名成员组成，也有可能是3名成员。马拉马拉2015年-2016年有过几次目击到无名雄狮和狮群出现在马拉马拉的报告，不过2017年至今没有再次发现过类似的目击报告，也许这个联盟已经向别的方向扩张领土去了。
大约十天前，在靠近萨比森北部NK营地东边的克鲁格N地区目击到了2头无名狮子，这个地区也有狮群，而且此地和马南兄弟目前的停留地HH营地离得不太远！This morning we saw another male lion who I have never seen or heard of plus a female and two youngsters.2017年7月17日早晨在马南雄狮兄弟和三头年轻雌狮所在的HH营地地区，还目击到了另外1头与狮群在一起的无名未知雄狮，这头未知的雄狮肯定不会是当地的地主Mluwati联盟的成员，因为当地不会不认识自己的地主雄狮。所以这头和狮群在一起未知雄狮应该是其周边地区的其它地主雄狮联盟，很有可能就是离HH营地很近的N地区狮群里的雄狮。从地理位置来看，这个N地区狮群的雄狮，有可能就是如今已经离开马拉马拉东边克鲁格Rhino Plains区域的那个雄狮联盟成员！
图为2016年带着狮群进入马拉马拉停留的陌生雄狮，它应该是Plains营地的地主雄狮联盟里的成员
图为2016年越境进入马拉马拉停留的另一头陌生雄狮，它应该也是Plains营地地主雄狮联盟里的其中一名成员！
图为2017年7月16日晚在克鲁格HH营地一带地区目击到与3只年轻雌狮在一起吃牛的马南雄狮兄弟，此地的地主雄狮是Mluwati雄狮兄弟，Mluwati雄狮兄弟于2015年9月开始统治该地区至今也快两年了，所以它们不会一直呆在这个地区，一定是会去寻找新的狮群繁育后代的。最近有过几次在靠近skukuza雄狮联盟统治的K大坝地区与Mluwati区域之间连接的s125一带，目击到了Mluwati雄狮兄弟，看这迹象，也许意味着它们正在向东探索扩张领土，或许它们盯上了skukuza联盟的这片领土？skukuza4兄弟近期朝着南方探索，南下到了s37一带，也许它们已经开始逐步放弃它们统治了有3年多年的K大坝地区！所以Mluwati雄狮兄弟是很有可能盯上K大坝地区的，如果Mluwati雄狮兄弟离开了Mluwati区域，这对于已经年老的马南兄弟来说是一个好事，它们哥俩征战了一生，如果能在这个它们早期统治过的地区安度晚年，也算是落叶归根了，，，

2017.8.5 londolozi博文
Recently the Tsalala Breakaway Pride made a waterbuck kill close to the Londolozi camps. These lions have been spending a lot more time south of the Sand River, moving further away from XKwhere the cubs were first denned. As a result, they are pushing back into the core of the Tsalala Pride territory and we have been wondering for some time when these prides would cross paths, which is exactly what happened just a few days ago.
最近查啦啦分裂狮群接近Londolozi营地捕猎到一头非洲大羚羊。狮群大部分时间在沙河以南，搬离了在XK幼崽的第一个巢穴。所以狮群正在向着查啦啦主队的核心领地移动。向导们一直在想两个狮群的活动轨迹相互重叠，这正是几天前发生的事情。
Tracker Freddy Ngobeni and I had seen the Tsalala Breakaway lionesses feeding on the waterbuck with their two young cubs the evening before. When we left them at dusk there was still a majority of the kill remaining and so we returned the following morning, wanting to check if they had been chased off their kill by hyenas. When we returned the next day though, we were shocked to find not a clan of hyenas but eleven lions where we had previously seen four. The two parts of the original Tsalala pride (who split with the arrival of the Matimba males at the end of 2015) had joined up and were feeding on the carcass together. Although there was quite a bit of snapping and snarling, the scene was fairly peaceful. The youngsters of the original pride were very well fed and were lazing at the edge of the carcass, while the females jostled to find a spot to feed on as the two youngest cubs muscled their way in. Although these prides have seen each other at a distance a few times, they have never actually re-joined and it was amazing to see two four month old cubs bravely stand their ground in order to get a share of the meat amongst lionesses they had never properly met before.
向导Freddy Ngobeni和我看见前一晚上查啦啦分裂狮群和他们的2只幼崽正在进食非洲大羚羊！天黑我们离开的时候尸体还剩很多，所以第二天早上我们回来时想看看狮群是否被鬣狗赶走了。第二天我们震惊的发现没有任何一只鬣狗，但是有11只狮子，以前我们只见过4只。原先查啦啦狮群的其中一组加入进来并且一起进食（2015年随着马蹄吧的到来他们分裂了）。虽然有很多争抢和吼叫，但相对还算平静。查啦啦主队的小年轻吃饱后懒洋洋的躺在尸体的边缘，由于两只更小的幼崽挤了进来使得母狮们不得不互相推挤寻找进食点。虽然两个狮群好几次都离的不远，但是她们都没重新汇合过。看见两只四个月大的幼崽站在他们从未见过狮子的周围想要分食，真的很棒
After the kill was finished, the Tsalala Pride got up and moved off by a few hundred meters before settling down in the shade to rest. Later in the morning they were disturbed by the remaining Matshipiri male who was seen walking in circles and contact calling all morning and the pride headed down into the Sand River, only to be seen again the following morning.
在进食结束后。查啦啦狮群起身移动几百米后在一处阴凉处休息。整个上午马特娃娃脸在不停的移动和咆哮使得狮群很不安，最后狮群进入沙河，第二天再次看见她们
Recently we re-named the Mhangeni Breakaway Pride to the Ntsevu Pride, based on this pride of six lionesses splintering off and establishing themselves in a new territory. It seems that it may be too soon for us to be doing the same for this breakaway from the Tsalala Pride though. For many months rangers have argued back and forth about whether there is a chance the Tsalala Pride could ever re-unite. It seems that since the three young Tsalala males have moved off, the prides are a little less wary of each other. Is a re-joining ever-so-slightly more likely now? As always, only time will tell.
最近我们重新命名曼海尼分裂狮群为Ntsevu狮群，因为6只母狮分裂了并且在建立她们新的领地。然而对我们来说重新命名来自查啦啦狮群分裂狮群还为时过早。几个月以来众多向导纷纷反驳说，查啦啦狮群会有重新团聚的机会。自从三只年轻的查啦啦屁股均离开后，两个狮群之间互相不在提防。现在她们会重新加入对方么？只有时间会告诉我们

SIGHTINGS UPDATE

Afternoon Drive
- Started our drive with some elephants who were swimming around in a dam close by. So nice to see when they come out the water looking so dark and their tusks shining white.
- Saw Hosana moving towards a small water puddle where he went to drink. He then played around on some rocks before climbing into a tree to rest.
- Headed to the west where we saw one of the Matimba males (previously thought to be a majingilane male). He was resting and looked to be a little bit injured.
- Saw the Nkuhuma pride again who were all laying together.
Nkorho营地纠错：2017年8月7日在大象平原一带目击到的那头雄狮不是保卫者，而是1头马蹄吧雄狮，它当时正在休息，并且受了一点小伤！
前一段时间马南雄狮兄弟在克鲁格Hoyo Hoyo营地一带与3头年轻的雌狮在一起吃饭，但是不久前这个地区的地主雄狮Mluwati雄狮兄弟回来了，，，
8月7日，1头马蹄吧雄狮突然出现在萨比森大象平原附近一带，它带着一点小伤，并且独自一人，也许意味着2头已经步入老年期的马南雄狮和2头正值巅峰期的Mluwati雄狮发生了战斗。如今萨 比森的局势发生了巨大的变化，使得这里比克鲁格Mluwati区域要安全许多，希望另外1头马蹄吧雄狮能尽快和兄弟在萨 比森相聚，，，

MALAMALA TODAY (the last 3 days): August 6th-8th. Arguably the biggest news over the last 3 days is the return of the lone Matshipiri male! On Sunday we found him moving east from Kapen Rocks, possibly in search of the Fourways pride. We viewed him again today with the 6 lionesses of the Kambula pride at Buffalo Pans- they'd killed an impala. 4 of the Kambula lionesses were involved in a mild altercation with the Marthly Pride yesterday- 2 of the Manyelethi males also nearby. This all took place along the Sand River west of Main Camp whilst the other 2 Kambula lionesses were trailing a herd of buffalo east of Rattray's Camp. The Styx pride were seen on Sunday near Mlowathi Dam- an unidentified male leopard with a 2:2 spot pattern (possibly 'Sindile') was seen close to the lions. The 3 young males from the Marthly pride were seen on 2 of the days as they continue to spend time along the Sand River between Calabash Crossing and Charleston North. The Eyrefield pride were found at Charleston North on Sunday.
马拉马拉2017年8月6号至8号这三天都目击到了马特娃娃脸雄狮，在8月8号当天，马特娃娃脸被看到和6头曼海尼分队雌狮在马拉马拉中部的Buffalo Pans一起捕猎，，，

图为2017年8月6日从londolozi回到马拉马拉的马特娃娃脸雄狮，它虽然现在仍然和曼海尼分队雌狮在一起，但失去兄弟莫西干雄狮变成独狮的它，已经很难守住狮群了，，，
8月7号，4头曼海尼分队雌狮与查拉拉狮群发生了口角，当时2头保卫者雄狮也在马拉马拉出现，并且离它们这两个狮群并不远。保卫者雄狮最近频繁出现在马拉马拉，并且和曼海尼分队雌狮有过多次交配。从保卫者雄狮最近的种种活动轨迹及行为来看，它们有可能是想要入侵曼海尼分队狮群，，，

2017年8月7日更新在马拉马拉拍到的伯明翰雄狮老大

2017年8月8日
Inyati Game Lodge
Two new male lions have popped in for a visit. It is the second time the Avoca males have trekked south to Inyati. Being part of a vast reserve such as Greater Kruger National Park means that Guides and Guests atInyati Game Lodge are likely to find new animals every drive.
8月8日，2头牛油果雄狮突然出现在萨 比森西部的Inyati营地，这是它俩第二次到访保卫者雄狮西部的领土，，，
如今2头保卫者雄狮在萨比森东部的马拉马拉（余下的1头保卫者雄狮也许留在了西部），而2头牛油果雄狮则出现在萨比森西部的Inyati营地，这两个联盟如果这样互相换着位置跑，损失的最终会是保卫者雄狮。因为牛油果雄狮并没有在东部的任何一个狮群里生育了孩子，而保卫者雄狮在西部的两个狮群里却有十几个亚成年后代，这些亚成年在没有保卫者雄狮的保护下，生命安全也许会遭到如今在西部出现的牛油果雄狮的威胁，，，，
图为在西部的Inyati营地出现的2头牛油果雄狮，应该还有1头保卫者雄狮在西部留守。

图为2017年8月6日从londolozi回到马拉马拉的马特娃娃脸雄狮，它虽然现在仍然和曼海尼分队雌狮在一起，但失去兄弟莫西干雄狮变成独狮的它，已经很难守住狮群了，，，
8月7号，4头曼海尼分队雌狮与查拉拉狮群发生了口角，当时2头保卫者雄狮也在马拉马拉出现，并且离它们这两个狮群并不远。保卫者雄狮最近频繁出现在马拉马拉，并且和曼海尼分队雌狮有过多次交配。从保卫者雄狮最近的种种活动轨迹及行为来看，它们有可能是想要入侵曼海尼分队狮群，，，
图为8月7号在马拉马拉出现的保卫者疤鼻，它的其中1个兄弟和它在一起。

8月4日伯老大在马拉马拉与保卫者的女儿曼海尼分队雌狮交配，伯明翰雄狮也许也会加入到竞争这个狮群统治权的角逐，，，

Inyati Game Lodge
Two new male lions have popped in for a visit. It is the second time the Avoca males have trekked south to Inyati. Being part of a vast reserve such as Greater Kruger National Park means that Guides and Guests atInyati Game Lodge are likely to find new animals every drive.
8月8日，2头牛油果雄狮突然出现在萨 比森西部的Inyati营地，这是它俩第二次到访保卫者雄狮西部的领土，，，
如今2头保卫者雄狮在萨比森东部的马拉马拉（余下的1头保卫者雄狮也许留在了西部），而2头牛油果雄狮则出现在萨比森西部的Inyati营地，这两个联盟如果这样互相换着位置跑，损失的最终会是保卫者雄狮。因为牛油果雄狮并没有在东部的任何一个狮群里生育了孩子，而保卫者雄狮在西部的两个狮群里却有十几个亚成年后代，这些亚成年在没有保卫者雄狮的保护下，生命安全也许会遭到如今在西部出现的牛油果雄狮的威胁，，，，
图为在西部的Inyati营地出现的2头牛油果雄狮，应该还有1头保卫者雄狮在西部留守。

2017年8月10日马拉马拉观察员目击更新，看到了1头孤独的马蹄吧雄狮回到了马拉马拉！
8月7号在大象平原一带还看到了1头马蹄吧雄狮，但观察员并没有说明其确切身份，因此我们并不知道8月7号目击到的马蹄吧雄狮是姜黄还是腹毛。不过8月8号9号的萨 比森北部目击记录当中，没有继续看到那头马蹄吧雄狮，8月9号却在马拉马拉看到了腹毛，所以8月7号在大象平原一带看到的马蹄吧雄狮，很有可能就是如今南下到马拉马拉的马五，，，
图为8月9号回到马拉马拉的马五腹毛，马三姜黄没有被看到和它在一起，无论出于什么原因使得它们分开，都希望它们老哥俩能尽快汇合到一起！8月8号，马特娃娃脸雄狮在马拉马拉与6头曼海尼分队雌狮一起狩猎。有老外狮迷看到马五归来后留言说，希望它能和马特娃娃脸结盟，并一起收回失去的领土。以目前马特娃娃脸的情况来看，它很需要盟友，因此它愿意和马五或其它外来雄狮结盟的可能性还是不小的，，，

马拉马拉9月2日目击信息，翻译源于吧友：右少
MALAMALA TODAY: September 2nd. Yet again lions took center stage with a total of 5 sightings: 3 unidentified large males were seen in Clarendon Open Area- we couldn't get within 100m of them before they'd start moving away. It's always refreshing to know that, even in this day and age, there are animals who scarcely come into contact with humans.
在Clarendon开阔地我们遇到三头未知的大雄狮---我们一靠近它们就开始移动，所以我们根本没法靠近到它们100米范围内。这种发现哪怕是今时今日，这里依然不少动物是几乎不与人类接触的感觉总是令人耳目一新。
The scar-nosed Manyelethi male and a Kambula lioness were found just north of Rattray's Camp- something caught his attention further south and he wasted no time in heading that way whilst the lioness ran off in the opposite direction.
我们在Rattray's 营地北部遇到了疤鼻和一头坎布拉雌狮---当南边远方的某种声音（或气味，气味的可能性更大，因为后面多次提到风）引起疤鼻的注意时，它立刻朝那个方向跑去，而与疤鼻在一起的坎布拉雌狮则转头向相反的方向逃离了。
The male crossed the Sand River and, with the wind in his face, continued through the Tamboti Thickets before coming across the lone Matshipiri male and another Kambula lioness.
徐徐的风吹打在疤鼻脸上，它穿过沙河，在一片非洲螺穗木丛中与马特娃娃脸和另外一头坎布拉雌狮迎面相遇。
Again, the lioness ran for the hills and so did the Matshipiri male. The steady winds made it difficult for the aggressor to track down the fleeing lions but he eventually came face-to-face with the Matshipiri male who took a few steps towards him before bolting off. This time the Manyelethi male was hot on his heels but we were unable to keep up with them. Bouts of roaring followed before the Manyelethi male turned back north.
马特娃娃脸和与它在一起的雌狮转身向一片山丘跑去。顺风使得疤鼻很难追踪娃娃脸和它媳妇儿，但最终它还是追上了娃娃脸。娃娃脸停下来并向疤鼻逼近了几步，虚晃一枪后再次跑路。这一次疤鼻紧追不舍但我们跟不上它们了。一阵狮子的打斗和吼叫声从远处传来，之后我们只看到疤鼻转头北去。
9月2日在马拉马拉东北部出现的应该是新来的克鲁格雄狮，不然不应该每当车辆靠近它们的时候，这3头雄狮就移动远离车辆。
疤鼻最初是闻到气味或听到声音后向Rattray's Camp以南追踪并找到了娃娃脸，在短暂的短兵交接后，疤鼻北上离开，所以这说明疤鼻并没有在战斗时赚到便宜，甚至是吃了小亏，不然它就不会马上北上离去，而是继续留着南边殴打或追杀娃娃脸了。不过疤鼻虽然已年老，但勇气可嘉。而娃娃脸由于在前几个月多次独自与敌对联盟战斗失力后，显然它已经逐渐失去了自信，，，

2017.9.1 马特娃娃脸归来
MALAMALA TODAY: September 1st. There was a lot of newsworthy lion activity around Main Camp today as well as a pack of 9 Cape hunting dogs just south of the camp. 5 leopards and yet another dead one... 4 lion sightings: the lone Matshipiri male is back! We found him in the company of 5 Kambula lionesses along the Sand River south of Main Camp. He is in exceptional condition and mated several times with one of the lionesses. A mere kilometer away, on the other side of Main Camp, was the Marthly pride. While we were watching the 2 lionesses and 5 youngsters the other 2 Marthly lionesses appeared in the distance! They 2 'outcasts' made a steady retreat once they noticed the other 7. At first it seemed like an over-reaction from the tailless lioness but her motives soon became clear when she led us to her 2 young cubs that were stashed away nearby. They then proceeded to move away even further and at a brisk pace. The 2 lionesses with the 5 cubs moved south as darkness fell and we watched them hunt nyala near Main Camp. The Eyrefield pride were seen in the south.
马拉马拉9月1日狮子目击。马特娃娃脸回来了。我们沿着主营地的沙河南边找到了娃娃脸和5只曼海尼分队狮群在一起。他的身体状态不错并与一只曼海尼分队母狮交配多次。在主营地的另一边一公里的距离是查啦啦有尾组。当我们看见有尾组2只母狮和5只小年轻时另外2只查啦啦无尾组在不远处。当2只查啦啦无尾组注意到7只查啦啦有尾组时她们会平静的向后撤，起初以为是无尾母狮的过度反应，后来才知道她把两只幼崽隐藏在附近。随后她们以轻快的步伐撤离的更远。当夜幕降临时，查啦啦有尾组向南边移动而且我们看见她们在主营地附近狩猎羚羊。看见斯巴达狮群在南边

The Matshaphiri Male returns to Mala Mala Game Reserve.
It is merely a matter of time until the next dominate male reveals himself within the Sabi Sands Wildtuin. It is simply a numbers game and it's not over yet.
马特娃娃脸回到了马拉马拉（但是他已经无法维持统治），下一任地主雄狮的出现只是个时间问题。这只是一个简单的数字游戏并且没有结束

2017 9/12 娃娃脸的一天:马拉马拉
MALAMALA TODAY: September 11th. The days highlights centered around the lone Matshapiri male who was found in the Sand River near West Street Bridge.（ 11号的亮点都在西街桥旁沙河的娃娃脸上）The setting itself is picturesque enough to make any sighting spectacular but throw in (over the course of the day) well over 100 elephants, 2 leopards, hyenas, giraffes, zebras, waterbuck, impalas, a plethora of birds and you have yourself some MalaMala Magic! The Tamboti female killed an impala ewe in the Sand River directly west of the Matshipiri male- thanks to a clinical strike and a steady easterly breeze, she went undetected.（ tamboti雌花豹在娃娃脸西边捕获高角羚-感谢不稳定的东风没让娃娃脸发现她）The female cub of the Kikilezi female was less fortunate when, impressively, she killed an impala a few hundred meters north of the lion. Hyenas were quickly on the scene and stole the kill. The Matshipiri male heard the commotion and wasted no time in getting there. As he charged in he didn't notice the young leopard and literally ran past her, within centimeters! The hyenas were promptly relieved of the carcass. （kikizile雌豹的女儿就不幸运了，她在娃娃脸北边几百米捕获高角羚，令人印象深刻。鬣狗很快就来到现场偷走猎物。娃娃脸听到了骚动但没有按时抵达。在他冲向猎物时丝毫没有注意到一旁的年轻雌豹，直接经过了她，就那么几厘米！鬣狗快速地分食尸体） Other lion sightings: the 6 lioness of the Kambula pride and a Manyelethi male are in the Sand River south of Charleston North. （一头老保和六头坎布拉母狮在charleston北的沙河）Other leopard sightings: the Ndzilo female and her cub have an impala kill near Calabash Crossing. The Teardrop female and her 2 cubs were also seen in the south. 2 herds of buffalo and many elephant sightings were also recorded.
