Socotra = Sanskrit for "The Island of Beaches"
Weird shaped fauna abide on this wee little isle situated in the Indian Ocean 250 km from Somalia and 340 km from Yemen.The island, which is part of a group of 4 islands, has been geographically isolated from mainland Africa for the last 6 or 7 million years. Like the Galapagos Islands, this island is teeming with 700 extremely rare species of flora and fauna, a full 1/3 of which are endemic, i.e. found nowhere else on Earth.
An ideal holiday spot?I think not you small minded people(p.s. endemic? )
