Ah, Bora Bora! Now, I ain’t been there myself, but I’ve heard plenty ’bout it. It’s one of them places where the ocean’s so blue, it looks like a big ol’ sheet of glass. Bora Bora, that little island way out in the South Pacific, all surrounded by white sandy beaches and a lagoon so clear, you can see the fish swimming right underneath you. It’s one of them spots where people go to escape everything, soak up the sun, and maybe swim with some critters. Yup, Bora Bora ain’t just famous for its pretty waters; it’s home to some animals too, and not just the usual ones ya might think of.
Now, on this island, most of the critters you’ll see ain’t native, they was brought here by folks who came from other lands. It’s a bit like how we got chickens and cows in our yard. On Bora Bora, you’ll find all kinds of animals like pigs, goats, cows, horses, and of course, dogs and cats. Them animals ain’t wild, but they do roam ’round the island pretty freely, like they own the place! Ain’t no lions or tigers running ’round, but them critters can make for some good company if you happen to run into ’em while you’re out walkin’ the shore.
But hold on, there’s a few wild ones too. I’ve heard tell of snakes and spiders livin’ on Bora Bora. Now, don’t go thinkin’ you’ll be trippin’ over ’em everywhere, ’cause they’re real shy-like and don’t usually bother folks. It’s more of a rare thing to see ‘em, especially if you stick to the beaches and don’t go trompin’ too deep in the jungle. And speaking of the jungle, don’t expect no big ol’ bears or wolves. The real wild ones you’ll spot are the little critters, just doin’ their own thing.
Now, if you like swimmin’ in the ocean, Bora Bora’s got somethin’ real special for you. Folks from all over the world go there just to see what swims under them waters. You can go snorkeling with stingrays and even sharks! I know, sounds a little scary, don’t it? But them black tip reef sharks ain’t so bad. They ain’t lookin’ to nibble on you. They just swim around, mindin’ their own business, same as the rays. The rays, well, they kinda remind you of them soft, squishy puppies—real gentle and just glidin’ ’round in the water. If you’re lucky, they’ll come close enough for you to touch, but don’t go tryin’ to pet ‘em like you would a dog!
But that’s not all you’ll find in them waters. Bora Bora’s got a whole mess of tropical fish in all sorts of colors—red, yellow, blue, green—like someone spilled a box of crayons in the sea. If you like fish watchin’, you’ll see all kinds of them little critters swimmin’ by. The water’s so clear, it’s like you’re in a big fish tank. Just don’t forget your snorkel mask, or you’ll miss out on all that beauty below the surface.
There’s another place you might want to check out if you’re on Bora Bora. It’s called the Lagoonarium, over on a little motu (that’s a tiny island, in case you ain’t sure). It’s like a natural aquarium, where you can snorkel around, see all kinds of fish and other critters, and even swim with some friendly sharks and rays. You’ll be safe, though; there’s always someone around to keep an eye on ya, make sure you don’t get into no trouble with them big fish. I hear it’s one of them things that’ll make you never wanna leave once you’ve done it!
So, if you ever find yourself makin’ your way to Bora Bora, don’t expect just the beaches and fancy hotels. There’s a whole world of animals out there for you to see. Whether it’s the domesticated animals wanderin’ ’round the island or the wild critters in the sea, you’ll find something worth your while. It’s the kind of place where nature and adventure meet, and you never know what might happen next.
Now, don’t go worryin’ too much ‘bout the critters that might cross your path. As long as you keep your distance, they’ll keep theirs. Just enjoy the beauty, the ocean, and maybe even a swim with a ray or two. Bora Bora’s a place that’ll leave you with memories, whether you’re on land or in the water.
