Alien-looking Island / g2 T1 ] x9 ~: h2 r# ? z
It is believed that Socotra got its name from Sanskrit, meaning “Island of Bliss.” Others suggest the name was derived from Arabic and means “dripping frankincense.” It may be a bit of both, currently unspoiled by man, but most people know of Socotra as being “the most alien-looking place on Earth.” It’s like a whole another world, like a different dimension。

脫離非洲大陸已經有1800萬年的歷史，長期的地理隔離加上惡劣乾燥的環境氣候，孕育出極罕見的物種: 825種植物中有307種(37%)，90%的爬蟲動物和95%的蝸牛品種，都是在地球上其它地方找不到的。聯合國教科文組織已於2008年將索科特拉島列入世界自然遺產。; r7 x7 e5 S" Y% b$ V$ ]9 [7 Q
Socotra has been tectonically isolated from Africa and Arabia for the past 18 million years, with its fierce heat and drought have combined to create a unique and spectacular endemic flora. Huge number of flora and fauna on Socotra are endemic, i.e., they are found nowhere else on Earth: 37% of Socotra’s 825 plant species, 90% of its reptile species and 95% of its land snail species. The island was recognized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as a world natural heritage site in July 2008.公仔箱論壇0 n& o' [! V2 \* w
索科特拉島島上最著名的物種是龍血樹 (Dracaena Cinnabari)，看起來就像飛碟一樣，帶著深紅色的樹汁。
# N/ {. @& a/ g. W. F, oOne of the most striking of Socotra’s plants is the dragon’s blood tree (Dracaena Cinnabari), which is a strange-looking, UFO-shaped tree. The tree is so named because any possible injury to the bark results in a deep red liquid that excretes from the scar.

Its red sap was thought to be the dragon’s blood of the ancients, sought after as a medicine and a dye, also inscribe as magical seals and talismans. Some scientists blame a lack of water caused by a decrease in seasonal cloud cover—and predict that many stands could disappear within a century.0 K" G( V$ A- R9 E% D( B8 a
