18 00:02:13 似乎是哺育幼崽的理想之地seems an ideal place to raise a calf...
19 00:02:22 这里却没有什么妈妈能吃的东西there's nothing here for Mum to eat...

43 00:05:40 现在四岁的它就要当妈妈了Now four years old, she's about to become a mum.
44 00:05:51 它的体型越大 孩子存活下来的机会也就越大The bigger she gets, the better the chances her babies will survive.

46 00:06:22 它还是很饿She's still hungry,
47 00:06:25 但现在是时候歇一下了but it's time to take a breather.
48 00:06:34 即使有三个心脏供氧Even with three hearts to oxygenate her body,

55 00:07:36 它的下一餐仍然远在千里之外And her next meal is still thousands of miles away.

58 00:08:17 它们2.4米长的身体 在妈妈庞大的身体前显得很矮小Their eight-foot bodies dwarfed by his massive mum.
59 00:08:37 但与这里的一个巨兽相比 就连妈妈也显得渺小But even she seems small compared to one giant out here.
60 00:08:47 这是这只幼鲸这辈子会听到的 最响亮的叫声The loudest call the calf will ever hear.

86 00:12:26 这只巨型章鱼又开始捕猎了The enormous octopus is on the hunt again.
87 00:12:49 但这一次 它不是在寻找食物But this time, she's not looking for food.

94 00:13:55 但它已经被发现了But she's already been spotted.
95 00:14:01 没关系 这位伪装女王 同时也是一个逃跑大师No matter, this queen of camouflage is also an expert escape artist.
96 00:14:11 它可以在一团墨水中消失得无影无踪She can disappear in a puff of ink.
97 00:14:30 它最后一个看似不可思议的戏法就是...And for her final, seemingly impossible trick...
98 00:14:40 它将自己巨大的身体she squeezes her gargantuan body
99 00:14:44 挤进了一个和邮筒投信口一样窄的缝隙中through a gap no wider than a mail slot.

101 00:14:57 它第一次也是最后一次关上了门she closes the door for the first and last time.
102 00:15:13 一个巨兽的敌人却是另一个巨兽的朋友One giant's enemy is another's friend.
103 00:15:28 好管闲事的海狮渴望了解这些巨大的访客Nosy sea lions, keen to check out their enormous visitors,
104 00:15:34 加入鲸鱼的队伍玩起了水下追逐游戏join the whales for a game of underwater tag.
105 00:15:55 突然 它们的玩伴消失了Then suddenly their playmates vanish.
106 00:16:04 幼鲸不知道这些叫声意味着什么The calf has no idea what these calls mean.
107 00:16:09 但妈妈太清楚了But Mum knows only too well.

112 00:16:43 它们十有八九会成功Nine times out of ten, they succeed.
113 00:16:55 像巴士一样大Being as big as a bus...
114 00:17:03 鲸鱼只有一个藏身之处there's only one place the whales can hide.
115 00:17:14 但虎鲸并不仅仅靠视觉来定位猎物But orcas don't only locate prey by sight...
116 00:17:24 它们也使用声音they also use sound.
117 00:18:04 一头单独暴露在外的海狮 给了幼鲸一个幸运的逃生机会A sea lion alone in the open gives the calf a lucky escape.

119 00:18:23 通过反弹虎鲸发出的咔哒声 海带也帮忙救了幼鲸的命By bouncing back the orcas' clicks, the kelp helped to save the calf's life.
120 00:18:34 这些水下森林为许多生物提供了避难所These underwater forests provide sanctuary for many.
121 00:18:45 但妈妈还是没有吃的But still, nothing for Mum to eat.
122 00:18:53 灰鲸只以北部丰饶水域中 隐藏在海床上的生物为食Gray whales only feed on creatures hidden on the seabed in fertile northern waters.
123 00:19:09 当它的旅程继续时While her journey continues...
124 00:19:18 在隐蔽的角落away from prying eyes,
125 00:19:21 章鱼妈妈也饿了the octopus mum is also going hungry.
126 00:19:28 它已经四周没进食了For four weeks, she hasn't eaten a thing.
127 00:19:34 它一直很忙碌 产下十万颗卵She's been busy laying a hundred thousand eggs.
128 00:19:42 每一颗卵都可能孵化出一头海怪Each a sea monster in the making.
129 00:19:49 成为母亲让它疲惫不堪Becoming a mum has worn her down,
130 00:19:53 但真正的工作才刚刚开始but the real work has only just begun.
131 00:19:58 它必须经常在富含氧气的水中 给子女们洗澡She must constantly bathe her offspring in oxygen-rich water.
132 00:20:08 让它们保持清洁Keep them clean.
133 00:20:19 并保护它们不受盗贼的侵害And guard them from thieves.
134 00:20:41 它的孩子们还要七个月才能孵化出来Her brood won't hatch for another seven months,
135 00:20:45 这段时间中它都要值班and all that time she'll be on duty.
136 00:20:52 无法离开 无法进食Unable to leave. Unable to eat.
137 00:21:03 体型是它现在唯一的超能力Size is now her only superpower.
138 00:21:08 它巨大的身体是孩子们的堡垒Her huge body is her babies' fortress.
139 00:21:14 幸运的话 它会有足够的精力 来确保它们存活And with luck, it'll give her the stamina to ensure they survive.
140 00:21:36 养育巨婴意味着要昼夜不停地工作Raising enormous babies means working around the clock.
141 00:21:53 日以继夜 这位全心全意的妈妈 敦促着幼鲸往北方游Night and day, this devoted mum urges her calf north.
142 00:22:09 它们行进得越远 天气就越冷 旅程就越辛苦The further they go, the colder and rougher it gets.
143 00:22:24 紧靠浅滩前进Hugging the shallow coast,
144 00:22:27 远离开阔海洋中的危险keeping away from danger in the open ocean...
145 00:22:34 它们离前方富饶的海域越来越近they move closer to the richer seas ahead.
146 00:22:51 一个多月来 它们每天都要行进112公里They've been traveling 70 miles a day for over a month.
147 00:23:00 当孩子随时享用全脂奶水时While her calf has full-fat milk on tap,
148 00:23:05 妈妈正饥肠辘辘地往前游Mum's now swimming on empty.
149 00:23:14 对于迁徙的灰鲸来说 饥饿是一个巨大风险Starvation is such a risk for migrating gray whales.
150 00:23:20 有些灰鲸从未完成这段旅程Some never complete the journey.
151 00:23:33 但再过一周 它就能得救了But salvation is just a week away.
152 00:23:43 前方800公里处 离加拿大海岸不远500 miles ahead, off the coast of Canada,

154 00:23:57 史诗般的奇观吸引了来自四面八方的目光An epic spectacle that attracts attention from far and wide.
155 00:24:05 虽然很多鱼被捕捞 但大量的鱼存活了下来Although many fish are taken, vast numbers survive.

160 00:24:45 对章鱼妈妈来说 前方没有这样的生命线For the mother octopus, there's no such lifeline ahead.
161 00:25:09 它还在照顾自己的孩子们She's still tending her brood.
162 00:25:15 但几个月没有进食 已经对它造成了永久性伤害But months without eating have taken their toll.
163 00:25:24 它的精力所剩无几 但工作差不多要完成了Barely any energy left, but her job almost done.
164 00:25:54 喷出最后一束水 它帮助孩子们上路With one last jet of water, she helps her babies on their way.
165 00:26:06 它再也见不到它们了She will never see them again.
166 00:26:13 这位母亲牺牲了自己 为十万个孩子提供了生命Giving life to a hundred thousand babies has cost this mother her own.
167 00:26:29 它的故事虽然结束了Her story may be over,
168 00:26:31 但许多新的生命才刚刚开始but many new ones are just beginning.
169 00:26:37 存活下来的婴儿会长成现在的一千倍大The babies that survive will grow a thousand times bigger,
170 00:26:42 变成海洋中的传奇 就像它们的妈妈一样into legends of the deep, just like Mum.
171 00:26:55 鲸鱼妈妈的旅程也即将结束The journey is almost over for the whale mum too.
172 00:27:04 经过成千上万公里的艰苦跋涉After thousands of grueling miles,

174 00:27:18 海里满是鲱鱼卵The sea is brimming with herring eggs.
175 00:27:23 够所有生物吃Enough for everyone.
176 00:27:36 终于 这位坚韧的母亲可以进食了At last, this resilient mother can feed.
177 00:27:44 它在海底翻滚 吸进了数百万的卵和无脊椎动物Rolling on the sea floor, she sucks up millions of eggs and invertebrates,
178 00:27:51 通过它下巴上梳状的板过滤filtering them out through comb-like plates in her jaw.
179 00:27:58 六个月来 它第一次大吃特吃 直到吃饱为止For the first time in six months, she feasts until she's full.
180 00:28:08 母性是灰鲸终极的耐力壮举Motherhood is the ultimate feat of endurance for a gray whale.
181 00:28:15 但这段旅程最艰难的部分已经过去了But the hardest part of the journey is now behind her.
182 00:28:21 此后 母鲸和幼鲸可以继续向北航行From here on, mum and calf can cruise further north
183 00:28:26 和其他鲸鱼一起in the company of other whales.
