Tonga is famous for humpback whales,
東加王國以座頭鯨聞名
but even here, finding and filming whales in the open ocean
但即使要在東加廣闊的海洋 要拍攝到座頭鯨
would prove challenging.
仍是一大挑戰
For the Life team,
對“生命脈動”制作團隊來說
capturing the humpback whales' unique mating contest,
要捕捉到座頭鯨 獨特的求偶競賽
known as a heat run,
也就是所謂的求偶競逐 需要本地的消息通報
would need local knowledge, hours on the water, and a big slice of luck.
長時間的潛水 還有很好的運氣
We've heard that one of the boats further inland
我們聽內陸潛艇石附近的船說
has seen a female with a calf and an escort,
有看到一只母鯨魚帶著幼鯨
which is something which might build to, hopefully, a heat run,
旁邊還有其他的鯨魚護送
so we're gonna head over there and take a look.
有可能…希望是求偶競逐 所以我們要過去看看
Any adult female with a calf could be coming into season,
帶著幼鯨的母鯨可能正在發情
and so might be a target for amorous males.
所以可能是發情公鯨的目標
When we got there, I was pretty excited,
到那的時候我很興奮
a little bit nervous, didn't know what to expect.
也有一點緊張 不知道會看到什么
Once I got in the water and dived down,
等我下水潛下去之后
it was surprisingly quiet and mellow.
發現海底是出奇地安靜祥和
Certainly didn't expect what happened next.
我完全沒想到接下來發生的事
The calf just came straight up towards me.
有一只幼鯨直接對著我游過來
