Zamba: The True Story of the Greatest Lion that Ever Lived by Ralph Helfer

Ralph Helfner was shocked at the cruelty that was accepted by animal behaviorists. He strongly believed that love, not fear, should be the base of the animal’s development. Zamba came into his life as a 4 month old cub and proved his point. Zamba spent the next 18 years growing and thriving. He was in many television shows and movies, but he also kept developing a powerful bond of love with the man who raised him. --Shay G., student
