在大草原上独唱(Solo on the savannah)
我们孤独的巨人的剪影出现在马赛马拉岛上,对当地人来说就是“马拉岛”。它是肯尼亚的一个大型国家野生动物保护区,也是世界上最重要的野生动物保护区之一。该保护区成立于1961年,与坦桑尼亚的塞伦盖蒂国家公园毗连——马拉塞伦盖蒂生态系统共同保护着约9700平方英里的土地。除了我们的朋友长颈鹿,马赛马拉岛是大象、狮子、猎豹、犀牛、角马、河马、鳄鱼、斑马和更多生物的家园。

Our lonely giant is silhouetted on the Maasai Mara, or just ‘The Mara’ to locals. It's a large national game reserve in Kenya, and one of the world’s most important wildlife conservation areas. The preserve was established in 1961 and is contiguous with the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania – together, the Mara-Serengeti ecosystem protects some 9,700 square miles. In addition to our friend the giraffe, the Maasai Mara is home to large populations of elephants, lions, cheetahs, rhinos, wildebeest, hippos, crocodiles, zebras, and many more creatures.
