==Appearance==
Zak is tall, tan muscular teenager with shoulder-length blonde hair and brown eyes. He wears a light blue tank top, blue jeans, and black and white Converse sneakers.
==FernGully: The Last Rainforest==
Zak is first seen by Crysta on Mount Warning working as a lumberjack, spraying the trees so his boss can know which trees they want to cut down. He mistakes Crysta for a bug and tries to catch her, but when he catches her, he doesn't notice a tree about to fall on him. To save him from being crushed, Crysta accidentally shrinks him down to her size. However, both of them end up falling on to the tree in a cobweb, and Batty Koda saves them from being sawed in half.
Zak accidentally falls off of a tree and floats on a leaf to the ground, where he encounters the hungry Goanna. Goanna chases Zak while singing about how he wants to eat him. At the end of the song, Zak falls onto Goanna's tongue and is brought into his mouth. Zak struggles as Goanna prepares to swallow him whole, but Crysta tells Goanna that Zak is her friend and he is spit out.
When Hexxus’ return begins to manifest in the poisoned trees and rivers, Zak is forced to admit that the humans in the forest are not the same ones who protected it in ancient times, but loggers who came to cut down trees, and that he had a part in it all.
Near the end of the film, he decides to return to his people and Crysta returns him to his human size.
