well like you said.  anything could happen.

you answered your own question.

Answer 3

sorry, dead is dead. But there are molds and fungi that create bizarre behavioral patterns in animals to promote their reproduction. Mice become attracted to cats, for instance. Ants that clamp their jaws onto a branch or blade of grass that overhangs an ant trail, then die. After which the fungus sprouts out of it's brain and rains new spores down on new victims. Oh yes, don't forget about rabies. Nature is really wierd.

Answer 4

No, when a cell dies, it literally destroys itself.

Cells are like little factories and when the factory stops, it falls apart.

Answer 5

I love the concept and I think you should consider writing short stories.  You have a good imagination and you should really consider writing things down and developing them.  That's how all speculative fantasy (science fiction) writers start.  Don't stop keep going.  YOU develop the virus that reanimates the dead.  I'll buy the book.

Answer 6

even if there were zombies couldnt exist becuase their teeth woud b gone and fall out and their muscles might aready be useless so they couldnt move and they woudnt have the strenght 2 stand up

Answer 7

what you are asking is quite impossible, but it is possible to modify a rabbies virus making it more aggresive and turning those infected into mindless killers just like in "28 days later" and "28 weeks later".

Answer 8

the brains not the problem.

i was watching this show and it said that when you breathe in the carbon dioxide and oxygen  destroy cells....when your younger your body can quickly remake the cells but as you get older your body cannot reproduce the cells as quick untill finally it cant reproduce them at all....

i think. i watched like a year ago so im not 100% sure but its something like that.
