Alien-looking Island

' @, h9 \4 R4 W- t索科特拉島 (阿拉伯語：سقطرى；Socotra；Suquṭra；Soqotra) 是西印度洋西北部的一群島，位於阿拉伯海與亞丁灣的交界處是由4座小島組合而成，屬於也門哈達拉毛省領土。Socotra (Arabic: سُقُطْرَى；Suquṭra；Soqotra) is a small archipelago of four islands in the Indian Ocean.

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。

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.
( m! i% N/ k. D0 B! g: `+ D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。
; h8 x+ t! D5 c' U- BOne 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.1 y+ ~ n& m# n M! J" ~9 Q6 I+ U
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。
# C n! A% z" Q0 B; W, f+ j: q公仔箱論壇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. 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.公仔箱論壇) b/ N9 e- r3 h" U6 ]: Z3 \
在懸崖上的沙漠玫瑰 (Adenium Obesum) 也相當特別，直接嵌進石頭長出來，完全不需要土壤；樹皮則像橡膠一樣閃閃發亮，枝幹頂端還會長出漂亮的粉紅色花朵。os.tvboxnow.com: F, }5 w, X1 `2 ~& n8 k C: C- I
Another famous plant species is Desert Rose (Adenium Obesum) which blooming in spring with a flush of pink flowers, they apparently do not require soil, always magically growing from cliffs and rock-faces, sinking their roots straight into bare rock.
