L" S- l" T# F 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。 0 J" c9 G! q# {' A- L" J2 {# ?.

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.

One 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.TVBNOW 含有熱門話題,最新最快電視,軟體,遊戲,電影,動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。+ \# Q/ e b8 V; Q8 X$ O" V
據說樹齡最高可達六千年,其深紅色的樹脂被命名為龍血竭,不但可用於醫藥、染料,也被用於巫術、煉金術與民間魔法。最新的調查報告顯示,氣候緩化令季節性雲量减少,造成索科特拉島水分缺乏,加上外來物種入侵,索科特拉島上幾乎已經沒有了自然生長的龍血樹幼苗。專家預期,或許在100年內,索科特拉島多數龍血樹都會死亡,這一植物將面臨滅絕困境。TVBNOW 含有熱門話題,最新最快電視,軟體,遊戲,電影,動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。; F# q* O- @: }/ r1 D' l
The tree can live to 5000 or 6000 years old. 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.
