I believe the original Bomba stories were set in the South American jungle. As for the movies, and the comics, God knows what travesties of geographical flora & fauna they came up with, but it probably ran the gamut.

There was at least one movie, for instance, that featured a big elephant stampede, and we all know that elephants are found only in Africa, Asia, Scranton, and Schenectady, but does Hollywood care? Not a fig.
