Zeb Zoober is a character from the 2002 movie The Country Bears.

He served as the titular band's fiddle player, but developed a heavy addiction to honey to the point where he was spending more time drinking then doing work in the group.

Following the band's breakup, his honey addiction worsened, as he is shown spending most of his time at the Swarmin' Hive Honey Club, to the annoyance of the bar lady, whom he constantly calls "Cha-Cha" and to who he owes 500 dollars. Although Zeb is willing to rejoin the band for their upcoming benefit concert, he can not leave the club without fully settling his debt. Beary makes a wager with the bar owner that if Zeb can beat the house band in a musical duel, he will no longer owe her any money. Despite a rough start, Zeb is eventually declared the winner of the duel, officially allowing him to perform in the reunion show.

He is also shown to display moments of sarcasm, taking jabs at Tennessee to suggest that Trixie may have actually left him because of his sweater, and at Fred for being oblivious that a restaurant waitress's attempted musical career did not work out.
