Stranded in the Savage Land as a young boy, KA-ZAR first encountered ZABU when the saber-toothed tiger rescued him from an attack by the vicious Man-Ape tribe. Unusually intelligent for his species, ZABU took the boy under his protection, and raised him as his own into a man feared and respected across the primitive land they call home. When SHANNA came to the Savage Land, drawn by its purity and primitive beauty, she and KA-ZAR first became a team, and eventually married. Together with ZABU, they protect the Savage Land from outsiders that would exploit its vast resources, and from the corrupting influence of modern technology.
