Also not all grass grows tall if left to its own. ALSO the walking dead would trample the grass while still alive. I would expect grass to be fairly short in the prison yard when they came upon it for the first time due to this. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Improve this answer.

Keep in mind that there are over 7 billion people world-wide, and about million people in the US according to the census. That's potentially a lot of zombies. Having one or two living people completely shredded by a crowd of zombies never to rise again won't make much of a dent in the zombie population. On the other hand, if a small group of living people take out a dozen zombies every week, that won't make much of a dent either if there are millions of them.
I assume new zombies are never created by non-interrupted zombie attacks i. Why aren't more people totally devoured? Lori: We saw one bloated zombie in the room where Lori's corpse had been, but that doesn't mean he ate her entire body. Natural Causes: As we saw in Season 4, natural causes - injury, old age, and disease - are much more deadly now than they were before the world fell apart.
Furthermore, the TWD Wikia points out: The [zombie] pathogen itself does not kill its hosts, but it seems to weaken their immune systems considerably, to the point where even minor illnesses are far more fatal than normal to humans. The Kill Count Prior to Season Five: There are statistics for onscreen zombie and human deaths on the show up to the end of season four. The grand total: 1, zombies killed people killed In the comic books, and to a lesser extent on the show, Rick's group are depicted as being among the best fighters left in the world.
The blurb for the tenth issue of the comic book says: After the ordeal Rick has endured last issue, he sets out to find safer shelter. Source In Issue 10, Carl is brought to Herschel's farm for the first time, having just been shot by Otis. United States: 60, people against ,, zombies. Conclusion: We're doomed, and trying to survive is just playing for time. Community Bot 1. Wad Cheber Wad Cheber 65k 58 58 gold badges silver badges bronze badges. If each person killed 14 zombies per day for 1 year there would be no zombies left.
Roughly 5 years have passed on the show. At 3 per day per human for 5 years there would be no zombies left. Since people stopped having babies, the survival rate of children is down, and people are putting down their dead the zombie population should be dropping fast. In the beginning the army was laying waste to entire cities.
In some stories Rick and the gang mow down entire herds. We would not be doomed. In short time the numbers would reach equilibrium. Fextem Fextem 21 1 1 bronze badge. That's right, but how can there be so many walkers , i. Not to mention off-course many people committed suicides too.
Probably best not to watch this during lunch. News U. Politics Joe Biden Congress Extremism. Special Projects Highline. The first camouflage method to be discovered was using the guts technique.
By smearing parts of the body with zombie blood, a person is able to come across zombies undetected. Unfortunately there are two problems with this technique. The first problem is that the blood can easily dry up or be washed off, leaving you once again being noticed by passing zombies. The second problem is that zombies will attack regardless of scent if the user draws attention to themselves such as causing extremely loud noises or start bleeding their own blood.
This technique was first discovered by Rick and Glenn as they were walking through Atlanta. Nicholas Clark was able to use this technique several times without incident after discovering it by accident. Notably, on the first time he did it, the walkers continued to ignore him even after Nick killed several. Due to the danger of getting sick from normal contagions within the blood, survivors tend to spread the blood and guts on a sheet or piece of clothing that they are wearing rather than direct skin contact.
During the final battle of the Whisperer War in " A Certain Doom ," the Coalition used this trick to great effect to pass through a massive horde and later to infiltrate it and silently assassinate their enemies within. The second known technique are "walker pets". By being in close proximity with a zombie without being bitten, the other zombies will instinctively assume the human is also a zombie. In the TV-Series, The Governor once noted that by "walk[ing] with the biters, they think you're a biter".
Although the user's close proximity with the zombie usually wards off the other zombies, they can still attract attention since their scent is still exposed. This technique was first discovered by Michonne who kept her zombified boyfriend and his friend in chains after cutting off their arms and jaws.
The third known technique is zombie skin. Similar to the guts technique, the user masks their smell by skinning the skin off zombies, curing it into human leather which eliminates the danger of contagion , and wearing them as clothing. Faces and scalps are usually used to create a mask, which can be repaired by sewing in newer pieces from other zombies as desired or by necessity.
This is perhaps the best out of the three when it comes to camouflage as it can't be washed off and doesn't leave a survivor exposed.
However, they can still be attacked by zombies if they draw attention to themselves. Additionally, unfamiliar survivors may shoot camouflaged humans, thinking that they are zombies. This technique is notably used by a group called the Whisperers. Also of note is that walkers tend not to notice or target those in advanced states of infection, as evidenced by Minerva being able to fall back into a herd in "Take Us Back" without any of the above-mentioned techniques.
However, she was also shown to have a large amount of walker blood and gore on her body, likely from the carnage she was caught in earlier, which may have helped camouflage her, though the walkers did eventually take notice of her and attack her after she was shot by Clementine.
It was recently revealed that when a survivor is suffering from a septic or gangrenous wound, the smell of the wound will mask their scent from walkers.
This causes walkers to ignore them, until they cause too much noise or become noticeable to the walkers. The following is a list of characters from The Walking Dead that have all died and reanimated as a zombie.

We didn't expect Pope to be long for "TWD" universe after he continued to risk the lives of his own Reaper brothers in order to continue thriving in the zombie apocalypse. But the Leah betrayal took us by surprise. I wish we could have like sat with the character longer. That was always kind of our intention. Enid was the pike death that shocked us the most.
We thought her death would have gone to Alden or a member of Magna's new group of survivors. Katelyn Nacon, who plays Enid, told Insider she was surprised her character made it past season six. She said her storyline felt like it was starting to have nowhere else to go.
The back-half of season nine was really becoming less about her character as an independent, strong character and more about a relationship and that bummed her out a little. Shane needed to go. His jealously over his best friend's relationship with Rick was sending his character down a grim path and started to take away from the main point of the show.
After the stunt he pulled with Otis, it was only a matter of time. On the other hand, Shane was a huge character in the series, so seeing him finally go was a bit of a shock.
Having his former BFF and partner stab him and then watching Carl shoot him in the head at the ripe age of 12 didn't make it any easier to digest. The self-serving brute turned over a new leaf. In his final act, he took out a bunch of the Governor's men to protect his brother and Rick's group before getting mercilessly beaten and shot by the Governor himself. If that didn't get you, Daryl's reaction to seeing his zombified brother hit fans hard and gave the world the famous Daryl crying meme.
It wasn't surprising that Rick was able to take Joe and his merry band of misfits out. It was more than shocking to see Rick bite Joe's neck and rip out his jugular to do it. Sure, it was straight out of the comics, but it was still just plain savage. Yes, Shiva's death was sad and a nod to her last moments in the comic; however, it was easy to see this death coming.
It's been hinted at since San Diego Comic-Con's season eight trailer for the show. The night of her big farewell, you could feel the show prepping for her death by having Ezekiel give one last big monologue about how much the tiger meant to him. By the time she showed up to save Ezekiel at the episode's end you already felt like you knew what was coming. Plus, it didn't seem like the show could keep up with the CG of keeping the character around forever. This was probably the worst kept secret in the show's history.
After Glenn's dumpster debacle earlier in season six , it felt like the show continuously teased his potential death. Yet, his life never really felt in jeopardy because big fans of the comic series were expecting Glenn's iconic comic death to come to fruition when Negan entered the show. By the time the season seven premiere rolled around many fans weren't too shocked that Glenn was among the characters to get a bat to the head. Glenn's fate may have matched the comic series, but after the showrunners tricked viewers into thinking he was spared at the cost of Abraham, many fans boycotted the show.
If the series killed off Abraham at the end of season six and then mercilessly killed Glenn right after instead of making fans wait months for the reveal, the effect probably would have been greater and the death may have been higher up on this list. Ever since she was captured by Negan's men it looked like she was going to take the fate of another character from the comics.
When flashes of her and her old lover Abraham started playing on screen throughout the season seven finale, we knew Sasha's time wasn't long. The biggest surprise was how the show changed Sasha's death. Instead of Negan's men killing her and throwing a sack over her head to return her to Rick — which happens with another character — Sasha died on her own terms, sacrificing herself in the hopes that she would be able to bite Negan or kill another Savior.
Still, it wasn't that big of a surprise since Sasha was given the pill by Eugene the episode prior. Olivia's death was not only shocking because it was so sudden and quick, but also because it strayed far from the comic series where she lasted longer. As well, Olivia Ann Mahoney was one of the few characters who wasn't afraid to stand up to Negan and refuse him. It was something that resonated with fans, making her death more bittersweet.
After taking care of Judith and becoming one of Carol's closest friends in the group, it was pretty shocking to see Tyreese get the boot. At the time, Sasha had just recovered from her boyfriend Bob dying only to deal with her brother's death shortly afterward. Tyreese's death was more shocking because of how lame it turned out. One of the big players in the comics and TV show, Tyreese ended up dying from not one, but two walker bites to the arm.
This is a character who was decapitated in the comics and his TV death fell a bit flat for a character that was so important in the series. Instead, fans watched an entire episode dedicated to Tyreese hallucinating until he succumbed. Comic fans were expecting Alpha to die at some point this season, but not ahead of the finale. Showrunner Angela Kang caught fans off guard by bringing Alpha's comic death to life in the middle of the show's half season. We're not ranking this higher because the death itself was a bit predictable since it follows Alpha's comic death almost beat for beat with a few changes.
Negan chopped off Alpha's head and then delivered it to Carol. Morton told Insider she knew how her character would leave the show since she was cast on the series. The show adaptation receives bonus points for adding extra depth to Alpha's death. Rick nearly killed Negan on season eight by slitting his throat.
Negan then turned around and used that same method to kill Alpha. It was later revealed that Carol released Negan from his jail cell earlier in the season in order for him to infiltrate the Whisperers and assassinate Alpha on her orders. It was a great execution of something fans have seen play out in a different medium. You can read our full interview with Morton here. After he learned one of his Savior outposts was kidnapped by the Hilltop, Simon was ready to march straight to Maggie for revenge.
Negan stopped him and sent him off to see Jadis and the Scavengers instead. Though he was given orders to kill only one of Jadis' people, Simon's rage got the better of him and he shockingly ordered everyone but Jadis to be killed on sight. Fans haven't been happy with the junkyard gang for some time, but no one expected them to be killed off so cleanly in one clip. We were gutted moments later when Beta showed up out of nowhere to literally gut her with his knife.
Fans probably didn't see this one coming. Though it was a shocking moment, Mary was never around long enough to become a huge fan favorite. Still, we respect that she went out redeeming herself and protecting her nephew to place her high on our list.
Rick and his crew searched for Carol's daughter all season. It was a kick to the stomach when she was finally found in the show's mid-season finale zombified in the barn at the farm where they were staying all along. Her fate was grim, but not nearly as grim as it could've been if the show writers had decided to follow through with the death she had in the comic series.
Instead of getting blown to bits with a shotgun like in the comics, Lori passed away after giving birth to Judith. Fans can be thankful that her comic series fate didn't follow through , but it was still a surprise to see her die before saying goodbye to Rick and spending any real time with her baby.
Another big shock in this scene was that Carl was the one to shoot her in the head before she could reanimate. If you weren't floored yet, it probably hit you moments later when Rick and the group broke down at the realization of Lori's death once they saw the baby. His gory demise was a fairly big shock to many viewers who were growing to love Dale Jeffrey DeMunn. If you follow the comic, his death wasn't set to come until they were settled into the prison, but the actor opted out early.
According to Jeffery DeMunn he didn't want to stick around after the show fired the series' first showrunner , Frank Darabont. He worked for five years to get that show on the air. After surviving cannibals at Terminus, the wrath of the Governor, and making pals with Negan, Carl wound up dead because of a zombie bite to the side.
What a way to go out. Fans were shocked at the initial reveal in December's mid-season finale. Carl's still alive in the comic series of the same name and has become one of the main protagonists as his father is getting older.
The reason Carl isn't higher on our list is because instead of just killing him off in the winter mid-season finale, the show decided to make fans wait several months before the big reveal of whether or not Carl would survive. By then, it was no secret if you were following the show. Actor Chandler Riggs himself did an interview with The Hollywood Reporter after it was revealed he was bit and he confirmed his character was getting killed off the show.
Riggs shared he had one more episode on the show. Riggs has since poked fun at how his character was killed off the series , even though he told Insider he wasn't bitter about exiting the zombie drama. It was a complete shock to see Morales taken out ruthlessly by Daryl an episode after his huge return to the series.
In fact, we were thrown off guard so much so that we were convinced Morales may not actually be dead. Noah's demise wasn't even his own fault and that's what makes his death all the more tragic.
One of the more unexpected deaths came when Nicholas trapped Noah in a revolving door with walkers to save his own skin. The only thing that made it worse was watching Glenn's face as his friend was eaten alive while he couldn't do anything to stop it or ease his pain. In one of the show's biggest and best twists in years , Siddiq realized that Dante was a Whisperer who held him captive last season.
Dante forced him to keep his eyes open and watch his friends get murdered. Unfortunately, Siddiq made this realization while Dante was beside him. Dante had no choice but to kill him right there and then to preserve his secret. Showrunner Angela Kang and the writers subverted expectations by delivering two big moments that never occurred in the comics, making for surprise TV. In the comic, Dante is one of the good guys and winds up with Maggie. The Whisperer twist was invented for TV and was tough to see coming unless you picked up on a few small clues throughout the season.
Meanwhile, Siddiq is one of the few characters to survive the entire comic run. As we know, on the TV show, doctors never seem to fare well in the zombie apocalypse. The entire moment was even more heartbreaking because Siddiq was just learning how to start dealing with his PTSD a little more. Jesus thought he had survived a massive group of walkers. As he went to kill the last one, the walker sidestepped and stabbed Jesus through the middle from behind with a giant sword before telling him he didn't belong there.
It may have come as a massive shock to some fans since Jesus was still alive in the comics and played a pretty prominent role. This death isn't ranked higher on our list since it was rumored for months that Payne's character was getting killed off the show. There was a segment of die-hard fans who saw it coming.
