Images from a sci-fi film? No, the 'lost world' of Socotra, a remote island with plants up to 20 MILLION years old...See Pics plus Video

Socotra Island is home to around 800 rare species of flora and faunaA third of the species found on the Indian Ocean island are endemic and cannot be seen anywhere else on EarthThe trees and plants on the island have evolved to suit its hostile climate and some varieties of plant are a staggering 20 million yearsThe landscape of remote Socotra Island looks as if it comes from a sci-fi film but in fact has evolved to look so other-worldy as the 'lost world' island has been separated from mainland Africa for between six and seven million years.Much like the Galapagos Islands, which are known for their incredible array of wildlife, Socotra Island is home to around 800 rare species of flora and fauna, around a third of which are found nowhere else on the planet.Nestled in the Indian Ocean some 250km away from Somalia and 340km from Yemen, the island's harsh environment includes wide sandy beaches, limestone caves and towering mountains, but is for the most part very hot and dry leading to the distinctive appearance of its plants.Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2431857/The-lost-world-Socotra-remote-island-plants-20-MILLION-years-old.html#ixzz2fwVh23Td

Movella replied to Malcolm's discussion Epstein Claimed to be Hiding in Israel ... Is this him or is it just another Israeli citizen?
"He was a weak link in an even darker chain and this made him a threat. The tiers go higher than Epstein which conflicts with what Alex Jones suggests. As for the man in the photo…Poor guy! Imagine being his Doppelgänger."
