多年前曾關注過的五個火槍手，在本吧也有很多吧友搬運他們的消息，
然而很不幸的，後來5個火槍手陸續全都死於人類之手後，我就沒再追蹤沙漠獅的消息，
直至我在網路上看到這影片...
而這部影片中的查理與Xpl-69，前陣子好像有看到吧友說也死了，但是我不確定。
這是2016年關於五個火槍手的部分消息，有興趣的可以看一下。
悲劇襲擊 - “五個火槍手”之一被殺害
在今年的6月，“五個火槍手“之一哈利 - Xpl-89”被殺了。 當時“Harry”在被槍擊後跑進了叢林中，
致死的原因在於子彈傷到了它的胸部。另外兩個兄弟也有受傷的跡象：
“Adolf”在他的右臉頰發現了傷口，而“Ben”在它的下腹部也發現了子彈的傷口;幸好子彈穿出身體的外面。
當發現“Harry”的屍體時予以燒毀，以防止越來越多對獅子的非法交易。
“四劍客” - 復原和韌性
其餘四隻雄獅正在密切的監視，“Ben”的槍傷似乎不嚴重。他花了很多時間舔傷口並保持傷口的清潔，
沒有感染的跡象，他正在恢復中。 7月初，他被麻醉並被固定以重新檢查他的傷口。
在人獅的衝突期間，似乎有三顆子彈擊中了他，但傷口已漸漸的癒合了。
“Adolf”右側臉上的傷口也癒合良好。
這四個兄弟在失去“Harry”後，展現出了它們強大的韌性。他們被觀察到與Okongwe獅群的兩個雌獅在一起，
這意味著它們可能再次交配。然而它們似乎仍然一直在尋找Harry “哈利”，
因為他們經常回到悲劇事件發生的地方，並在夜間呼喚著它們的兄弟……。

原文-
The “Four Musketeers” – recovery and resilience
The remaining four male lions are being monitored closely andthe bullet wound to “Ben” does not appear to be serious. He is recovering andhe has spent a lot of time licking and keeping the wound clean, and there is nosign of infection. Early in July he was darted and immobilised to bere-collared and to check his wounds. It seems that three bullets hit him duringthe conflict, but the wounds have healed remarkably well. To strengthen therelationship between researchers and the Tomakas community, Japie, the headmanof the village was invited to be a part of and to assist with this operation.
The wound on the right cheek of “Adolf” is also healingwell.
The four brothers are showing remarkable resilience after losinga pride member. They have been observed with two lionesses of the Okongwepride, which may mean that they are mating again. It seems that the brothersmay have been searching for “Harry” as they have regularly returned to the areawhere the tragic incident occurred, and heard calling during the night.
