（单词翻译）

 In the war-racked country of Sudan, lies Boma National Park, the largest intact savanna1 in East Africa. Mile upon mile of what looks like pristine2 wilderness3 unfolds. But much of this is an empty paradise. During the Sudan's decades of ruinous civil war, the park supported rebel armies and untold4 refugees. The wild life was decimated. And it was long feared that one of the most spectacular migrations5 on earth not seen by outsiders in 20 years had been wiped out.

 
Then in 2007, aerial surveys began spotting them, handfuls, then hundreds of them, eventually estimates reached in the hundreds of thousands. 
 
Miraculously6, the white eared cub7 had survived, a magnificent antelope8 that lives could nowhere else on earth. The cub had been migrating in numbers perhaps equal to those in the Serengeti, covering hundreds of miles from their wet season feeding grounds in the south, to their breeding battle grounds in the north.
