I'm making this new topic after Биолог mentioned some interesting ideas for descendants of the tree hyraxes with more adaptations for an arboreal lifestyle. I was also thinking that they could be adapted to jump between branches and even trees. Биолог, do you have more ideas about these animals?
Socotra represents the archipelago of continental origin. So, I think it would exist in Neocene also. Based on the idea of split of Africa and shift of Zinj Land eastward, we may predict that Socotra will be geologically active zone due to the movement of Zinj Land.

Nice! How could be its vegetation? With the humans being extinct, I thought that there could be more woods and forests.
the climate is dry, so the forests may be composed of dry-resistant plants. In Russian part of forum, we have a description of relic dwarf dromedary camel (insular dwarfism).

Among the plants, could be a descendant of the Dracaena cinnabari. This species is still surviving in Socotra nowadays, maybe the disappearance of humans could allow it to spread once again. Could this dwarf dromedary be like the extinct Stenomylus? With a gazelle-like appearence.
