Robert said in another interview he thought zombie animals would be too unrealistic so we probably wont be seeing any in the future..
I'm guessing Ezekiel owned some type of zoo or circus or something, which is why he was able to obtain Shiva. You can see the authority figure in him, like he's that type of person who you can see being a leader, like Rick. So he's probably always been the leader type of guy, but the Tiger gave him extra props though. I'm also guessing Zeke doesn't let Shiva loose on walkers, for the fear she might turn, but she's really there mostly to intimidate others.

 

If there were zombie animals everyone and I mean everyone would be zombified. I mean zombie mosquitoes, ravens, gophers, head lice, and ant eaters...yeah we'd all be sooooooo doomed.

 

Why doesn't Ezekiel put some armor on the tiger?

Then we'd have an invincible tiger running around eating your people and killing the zombies.

 

Like Cringer?

 

I would rather see Shiva unleashed on a herd of zombies. That would be gnarly.

 

Negan, what happened to all of your f-bombs??? haha

 

I'm dropping them on the Hilltop currently. Get it?

 

buh-dum-bum-chshhhh

hahahaha niiice.

 

Now, if you'll excuse me, I got some ladies to ping-pong.

 

More tigers in U.S. backyards than in the wild according to the WWF:

And tigers don't like you, no matter how nice you are to them.

 

I thought that was said about the TV show. However, in a ZA, animals would go down first as food for the hordes of zombies..
