Story of lone Machaton lioness
Queen of the Timbavati Reigns Supreme（timbavati至高无上的皇后）
Yesterday marked a historical event in the Timbavati! （昨天timbavati造就了一标志的历史事件）The oldest and last remaining lioness from the infamous Machaton Lion Pride was discovered with three young cubs! （最年老也是最后的马其顿母狮发现和三头幼狮一起）A female who was on deaths door, has come back and is ready to raise the next generation.（被认为死亡的母狮，已经回来同时也准备好带大下一代）
This pride was first discovered over 45 years ago when Chris MacBride found and recorded the world’s first white lion, and so the legend of the White Lions of the Timbavati was born.（狮群在45年前被chris macbride找到并记录下了世界上第一头野生白狮，从此timbavati的白狮传奇诞生了） This pride are the direct gene line of the white lions, first found in the Machaton River, hence their this name. Interestingly, every litter of cubs ever born into this pride were born in the same river system where they were first discovered.（这个狮群是白狮的直接基因系，首次在马其顿河发现，所以这样称呼狮群。有趣的是，每一窝狮群出生地幼狮第一次被发现都是在马其顿河。）
The Machaton pride have varied in numbers over the years, in 1995 there were eighteen lions but over the years the numbers dwindled due to younger males being chased out, cubs being killed and new dominant males moving in.（这些年马其顿狮群的数量有所不同，在1955年有18头狮子但多年来由于亚成年被驱逐，幼狮被杀还有新地主入驻，成员数量逐渐减少）
Then about a year ago this pride became almost obsolete.（大约一年前狮群几乎是劣势的） Some unknown male lions moved in, killing majority of the cubs and splitting the pride into three groups.（一些未知雄狮入驻，杀死了大部分幼狮然后狮群分成三部分） First the grandmother with one male cub, another female (the one now referred to as the last Machaton lionesss) with two male cubs and a 3rd female with another male cub.（第一组是祖母和一头雄性幼狮，另一头母狮（即最后的马其顿母狮）和另外两头雄性幼狮然后第三头母狮和另外一头雄性幼狮） The grandmother was killed (we think) by a buffalo, after surviving on his own for quite some time.（祖母被（我们觉得）水牛杀了，在自己生存了一段时间后。） The male cub joined the other two male cubs who were with the last Machaton lioness, but at that point she headed far south and was not seen for a long time.（那头雄性亚成年加入了第二头母狮（最后的马其顿母狮）带领的两头雄性幼狮，但那时她在很远的南部而且有很长一段时间没有看到了）The last three males were finally joined by the last male cub forming a coalition of 4 males who then moved on into the Klaserie.（最后三头亚成年加入最后一头亚成年组成了马其顿联盟移入了klaserie）
This incredible last lioness is over twelve years and she was badly injured.（这头不可思议的母狮大概12岁还有她有严重的受伤） The wound on her leg was debilitating and there was a fear of infection setting in, yet she healed and carried on hunting, sustaining herself alone for the last six months. （她腿上的伤口另她虚弱，有一种感染的迹象，但她已经愈合了并继续捕猎，在过去的六个月一直维持着）Over this period she became more and more elusive and shy. There would be long stretches of no reported tracks or sightings and then recently there were rumors of a pregnancy and that she was possibly lactating, but this all seemed almost too much to hope for.（这段时间她越来越难以捉摸还有害羞。会有很长的时间没有报道或者目击，最近有传闻说她怀孕了，她可能在哺乳期，但这看起来是奢望）
So when Civilized came across this lioness this morning with three little cubs at her side, he was overjoyed! （所以当civilized早上遇到她时有三头小幼狮在她旁边，他很开心）This is a female who despite all the odds has survived, fought back, overcome insurmountable challenges and now she has carried on the lineage of an exceptional pride.（这是一头注定要失败的母狮但存活，然后反击，越过重重障碍然后现在她带着狮群特殊的血统。）
