Yes, I spend some time at "that other website" because there are still gems like this tweet:
https://twitter.com/KkHimalaya/status/1700177794133786946
...where I found out about #Yemen's #Socotra Archipelago.
Quotes: "...37% of Socotra’s 825 #plant species, 90% of its #reptile species and 95% of its land #snail species do not occur anywhere else in the world."
Also, offshore:
"...253 species of reef-building #corals, 730 species of #coastal #fish & 300 species of #crab, #lobster and #shrimp."
🤯😲

#DidYouKnow the #Socotra Island in #Yemen ('#Island of Bliss' in #Sanskrit) is known as 'The #Galapagos of the #MiddleEast’ & it's estimated 37% of its 825 plant species do not exist anywhere else in the world. 🤩
The #alien - looking #trees you see here are known as Dragon's Blood b/c of its crimson sap, used in #medicinal balms & #lipstick.
In 2008 it was recognised as a #UNESCO World Heritage Site & is of “universal importance b/c of its #biodiversity with rich & distinct #flora & #fauna.”

The Socotra Island in #Yemen is described as ‘The Galapagos of the #MiddleEast’ & ‘The Jewel of Arabia.’
According to UNESCO, Socotra Island is a site of “universal importance because of its #biodiversity with rich & distinct #flora & #fauna.”
Its name means the #island of Bliss in the ancient #Sanskrit #language.
Its unspoiled #alien landscape has intrigued travelers & scientists, for decades.

#Dorstenia gigas is a survival artist.
First plant, grown from seed at home, lost all leaves due to mealy bugs and treatment, yet makes new leaves.
Plant two, at #BotanicalGardens #Copenhagen , looked dead all year - yet it blooms.

1/ The remote Yemeni island of #Socotra is considered the pearl of the Arab world. It's most famous for its dragon blood trees and its stunning landscapes. Recently, @HaraldDoornbos visited Socotra for @akhbar. Check the stunning drone footage and pics.

@katypillar Very pretty. There is a variation of this bottle tree that can be found in #Socotra island in #Yemen. This is a picture of me near the bottle tree. It was taken in 2013.

I thought it was important I share this picture of a #squirrel with a #donut in its mouth to the entire #Fediverse because when I posted it to #Twitter, it got one like. And I know #Mastodon will not allow such injustice
.اعتقدت أنه من المهم أن أشارك صورة #squirrel مع #donut في فمها إلى #Fediverse بالكامل لأنني عندما نشرتها على #Twitter ، حصلت على إعجاب. وأنا أعلم أن #Mastodon لن تسمح بمثل هذا الظلم.
