Jackson Oz is the main protagonist of the show Zoo. He was a zoologist working in Africa alongside Abraham Kenyatta when the animals started displaying aggressive behavior. He later became part of the team tasked with curing the animals and saving the world.
Early Life
Jackson Oz is the son of doctor Elizabeth Oz and professor/scientist Robert Oz. As a child, he used to go with his father in weekend expeditions all over the country to study and observe animals. However, Robert used to have some weird behaviors around his son. One example of this was when he asked Jackson if he wanted to buy a soul. Jackson was only 12 years old at the time.
In the Season 2 episode, "Jamie's Got a Gun," it is revealed that Jackson's father had performed experiments on Jackson, which caused Jackson to develop the Ghost Gene.
