A very young Socotra Cucumber Tree (Dendrosicyos socotranus) that has survived the insatiable appetite of the goats – only because it’s growing where they cannot reach!
If the plant is not poisonous to the goats the species will be eaten to extinction, unless it can find a safe haven on the steep cliffs, like this one. Slowly, but surely it will grow and one day become a mature giant!
Elevation: 139 meters.
