Biography

Zamba, an African lion cub, was taken in by Ralph Helfer, an exotic animal trainer who owned "Nature's Haven: Wild Animal Rentals Co." in Van Nuys, California. Ralph's friends, Jack and Brini, found Zamba near death in Zambia on a photography safari and nursed him back to health, knowing that Ralph would be the perfect person to care for him upon returning to America. Ralph took on the responsibility of raising Zamba with his own philosophy of "Affection Training," which emphasized compassion, patience, and respect instead of fear and intimidation.

Through this method, Zamba grew into a magnificent lion who became known in the entertainment world for his gentle nature. Ralph brought him to many charitable organizations to raise funds for children's hospitals, organizations for orphans, and the less fortunate. Zamba also appeared on movies and television shows, including "The Pet Set" hosted by Betty White.

Ralph's close and trusting relationship with Zamba allowed him to bring his daughter, Tana, around him without fear. Zamba was gentle and respectful towards Tana, treating her with the utmost care and avoiding any actions that could harm her. In addition to being Tana's godfather, Zamba became her guardian and constant companion.
