Summary There are around 400 horses, 300,000 grey seals and 350 species of bird present on the island.

(Daily Dunya) - A woman identified as Zoe Lucas has spent more than 40 years living alone on Sable Island, a large smile-shaped sandbar measuring around 26 miles long.



The 67-year-old arrived at the island for research purpose and adopted its natural beauty and environment.

She said her crucial survival tools include a jotter pad, so she can take notes and binoculars to witness the wildlife on the sandy shores.

‘I squawked and squawked, I wanted to come so bad. I originally came out here for the horses,’ Lucas explained.
