The Alien Wonders of Socotra Island: Earth’s Most Otherworldly Place 🏝 Imagine stepping onto an island where trees look like upside-down umbrellas, and the landscape feels like another planet! Welcome to Socotra, Yemen – a UNESCO World Heritage site and nature’s weirdest masterpiece. ✨ What Makes It So Unique? Dragon’s Blood Trees (Dracaena cinnabari) – These ancient, umbrella-shaped trees bleed red sap, once prized as medicine and dye. Desert Roses (Adenium obesum) – Fat, bulbous trunks with pink flowers, growing straight from the rocks. Blue-Breasted Socotra Starling – A bird found nowhere else on Earth! 🌵 Why Does It Look So Alien? Socotra split from mainland Africa millions of years ago, so its plants and animals evolved in total isolation—like a real-life "Lost World."
