    The space-time fractional Zakharov-Kuznetsov-Benjamin-Bona-Mahony (ZKBBM)equation is a significant nonlinear model equation to illustrate numerous physical structures suchas water wave mechanics, fluid flow, marine and coastal science, control system and so on. In thisarticle, the dynamical behavior of the space-time fractional ZKBBM equation is analyzed and itstraveling wave solutions are investigated based on the theory of the cubic polynomial complete dis-criminant system. First, the equation is transformed into a nonlinear ordinary differential equationthrough the complex wave transformation. Then the dynamical behavior analysis of the equationare discussed in accordance with the bifurcation theory of planar dynamical system indicates. Afterthat, by utilizing the polynomial complete discriminant system and root formulas, several new exacttraveling wave solutions of the equation are obtained. At the last, the plots of some solutions areshown with the aid of MATLAB software in order to exhibit the structure of the solutions.
