As you can see from these pictures, Bonaire isn't exactly "tropical." There are some Palm trees but there are far more cactus and low-lying shrubs. Also, when taking a closer look at the ground you'll find it's mostly coral - at higher elevations you can actually see where the water level was thousands of years ago.
I wasn't able to capture all of the fauna on camera - but here is a picture of a lone donkey we met while traversing some "back roads" in an attempt to find the northeast coast of the island (luckily Nate is an ASTOUNDING navigator :o). There is a donkey sanctuary on the island that is helping to reduce overpopulation, I believe the overall effort is to phase out the donkies altogether as their primary purpose used to be transportation of salt.
Other animals you might see crossing the road include goats, chickens, iguanas, lizards, cats, dogs, etc
