柳瓦平原消息更新夫人走后那边关注较少，转一下近一年官方fb消息。 2018.10.13 This week with assistance from our partners at Zambian Carnivore Programme, WWF and DNPW we successfully re-collared two lions - one male and one female. These collars will assist the park in monitoring the lion's movements in the dynamic landscape that is Liuwa Plain National Park. Our relationship with our partners ensures that we can continue to do this important conservation work 安全检查，捕获一雄一雌。

柳瓦狮群图片-2017年1月 20170124 Lady Liuwa, one of the oldest known and most famous lion in Zambia. Despite her age she is still going strong and she knows how to stand her ground. On the photo; The young male, father of the two cubs, wanted to play with the old lady, but she gave him no chance and he stood back. 2016 was a very difficult year for Lady Liuwa, when the wildebeest herds moved far North she was recovering from a bad limp, she couldn't hunt and almost had to give up. After at least 2 weeks without food she managed to walk 30km in one single night with the last little bit of energy she had left. And she reunited with Sepo, the mother of the two cubs. Now she has plenty to feed on and she is no longer limping. When Sepo goes out hunting, Lady behaves like a true grandmother and stays with the young cubs. Such a remarkable lioness! 图片中年轻雄狮（两个幼崽的父亲）想和夫人玩耍，可夫人没有给他机会。 2016年对夫人来说是艰苦的一年。当角马群北迁时，她刚经历了一次严重的跛行，正处在恢复中，无法捕猎甚至差点放弃。至少两周没有进食后，她靠着最后的一点力气一夜之间走了30公里和Sepo（两个幼崽的母亲）汇合。现在她食物充足，也不再跛行了。当Sepo出去捕猎时，夫人扮演着奶奶的角色照顾两个幼崽。20170122 Have a good day!20170117 I photographed this Lion cub yesterday in Liuwa Plain NP, Zambia.

柳瓦狮群新幼崽和雄狮引进计划20161224 文章信息量有点大，最近太忙，还得麻烦有时间精力的吧友帮忙翻译一下。大致意思是引进了一只新雄狮，Sepo又生了两只幼崽，目前柳瓦平原一共八只狮子，相处和谐。 Lions are Roaring Once Again in Liuwa Plain National Park, Zambia Lions in Liuwa Plain National Park in Zambia are making a come-back in this beautiful 3,660km2 landscape, famous for its once only single lioness, Lady Liuwa, as well as hosting the second largest wildebeest migration in all of Africa. In September, a male lion was introduced to Liuwa, a park which is managed by African Parks in partnership with the Zambian Department of National Parks and Wildlife and the Barotse Royal Establishment. The only surviving breeding male present in the park prior to this introduction was related to the current females, so a re-introduction in order to help grow the genetic base and aid in the long-term future of the species in Liuwa was needed. Stretching across north-west Zambia, Liuwa’s vast grassland is key lion habitat, but like so many other places on the continent, decades of excessive hunting and lion control afterhuman-wildlife conflict had driven the species down to the edge of local extinction. Lady Liuwa roamed these grasslands as the sole surviving member of her species, until African Parks took over Liuwa’s management and undertook the first introduction of two males in 2009 followed by two females in 2011 to begin the process of repopulating the park. Liuwa has been carefully managing the recovery of this small pride for years, and the introduction of this new male serves as an essential next step in contributing necessary genetic diversity to secure a future for the pride. A suitably aged lion was identified with the help of the Zambian Carnivore Programme (ZCP) and the Mushingashi Conservancy management, captured and translocated from Mushingashi Conservancy next to Kafue National Park and brought to Liuwa to be bonded with the resident lion. The bonding process consisted of having both lions kept in a large “boma” or enclosure, for seven weeks so they could acclimate to one another, reinforce the social bonding process that is so important in any coalition and allow the females time to bond to a certain degree to the new lion through the fence, which they did on most nights throughout the seven weeks. It was critical for this to work so that upon release the Kafue male would follow the experienced Liuwa male, and learn to avoid areas of conflict within the park given the movement of resident people in this unique landscape. The successful capture process was overseen by Liuwa’s Park Manager, Mr. Robert Reid, and experienced vet, Dr. Ian Parsons. The operation went smoothly with both lions being relocated into the boma on the 2nd of October. The first few days saw the lions interact without any aggression and within the week they were following each other around the boma, lying next to one another and head rubbing. After a few more weeks in the boma together, the two lions started to truly bond. All the resident lionesses visited the lion boma on multiple occasions, often sleeping just outside the boma and then moving a short distance away in the day. On the 15th November, while the males were still in the boma, we received the additional news that Sepo (a lioness introduced in 2011) had given birth to two beautiful cubs, offspring from her son. Although not ideal in the long run, lions can mate with their offspring and this often happens in small isolated populations. We had suspicions she had given birth due to her rather secretive behavior and separation from the rest of the pride, but official confirmation was made when she was seen with Lady Liuwa and her new cubs who appeared to be around eight-weeks old. This is a wonderful beginning given the start of the wet season. The iconic rains in this landscape brings the concentrations of wildebeest around Matiamanene, and they serve as a critical prey base for Liuwa’s famous carnivores, increasing all of their chances of survival. Mortality in lion cubs in the first year is common but we hope Sepo, with the assistance of her daughters and Lady, will be able to raise these new additions to adulthood. Following this good news of the new cubs being born within the park, on the 22nd of November, after seven weeks in captivity, the boma gates were opened and after a few hours the Liuwa male casually walked out of the boma with the Kafue lion following close behind. They strode off onto the plains, and within a day had made contact with all of Liuwa’s resident females: Lady Liuwa, Sepo, the other two females and the cubs. The initial contacts and interactions have very been positive, and we hope that all eight animals will form strong bonds over the next few months, and serve as an important foundation in growing Liuwa’s pride, and having lions roam these plains once again. There is of course the risk that the new lion might kill the cubs given that he was not part of the coalition when the Liuwa lion fathered them however since release this seems not to be the case.The resident Liuwa male lion rests next to his two cubs

柳瓦公主20161128 柳瓦平原工作人员Daan Smit脸书昨日更新。目前官方仍未对是否要继续引进新雄狮做出回应或声明，不知道配的这段话是没话说了还是他确实得到了一些内部消息。 Liuwa Plains NP; a recovering ecosystem. One of the Liuwa Pride females photographed on a hot Saturday afternoon. This females is almost 3 years old and will hopefully soon conceive. These coming years will be interesting for the recovering lion population in Liuwa, and also for Greater Liuwa as a complete ecosystem. Sooner or later the growing pride of lions will impact the current dominant predator population on the plains; the hyena. 大意：柳瓦平原国家公园：正在复苏的生态系统。炎热的周六下午拍摄到的一只柳瓦狮群的雌狮。这些小雌狮差不多三岁大了，马上就到受孕的年纪。接下来的几年对恢复柳瓦平原狮子数量，并将“大柳瓦”恢复成一个完整的生态系统来说意义非凡。壮大的狮群迟早要影响到平原目前数量占统治地位的肉食群体：鬣狗。

10月28日上传，看这脸应该是后来出生的小雌狮，算算也要三岁了。 A young lioness enjoying the shade of a tree and the soft sands in Liuwa Plain NP, Zambia. 译文：一只年轻雌狮正在享受树荫和柔软的沙地。
