An original pack member and the brother of Rocky, Zimba was one of Wolf Connection’s earliest program animals and wolf ambassadors. His profound love for people played a pivotal role in shaping the welcoming atmosphere that defines Wolf Connection today. As he grew older, Zimba faced various health challenges that led to his retirement as an active program animal. However, he remained a beloved ambassador, often greeting visitors with his regal presence and warm demeanor.
Zimba cherished his walks with the staff members he had formed close bonds with. Despite his physical ailments, the sight of a leash would ignite a spark of joy in him, prompting him to run around his enclosure with a youthful enthusiasm that was heartwarming to witness. One of his favorite activities was splashing in the creek with his brother, Rocky, where their playful interactions brought smiles to everyone around.
With his soulful eyes, Zimba embodied a gentle spirit that was both captivating and endearing. He is truly to be adored, admired, and deeply missed, leaving behind a legacy of love and connection that continues to inspire all who knew him. His journey reminds us of the deep bonds we can forge with animals and the profound impact they have on our lives.
