Socotra Island, Yemen
Located in the Arabian Sea, far from any mainland, Socotra has evolved species that aren’t found anywhere else, such as the red-sapped dragon’s blood tree, seen above.

More than eight hundred plant species have been identified on Socotra,
and 240 of them are unique.

The only indigenous mammals are local bats.
