Unsolved:Zombie animal
A zombie animal is an animal that becomes a zombie as depicted in the zombie fiction genre. Numerous types of animals have been portrayed as zombies - a zombie dog appeared in The Last Man on Earth in 1964,[1] and an infected dog is the source of the zombie virus in REC (2007). Night of the Zombies (1984) features a scare from a zombie cat,[2] as does Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse. A jump scare scene featuring zombie dogs in the first Resident Evil is considered to be a seminal horror scene in video game history.[3][4][5]
While predominantly a fictional concept when applied to larger mammals, there have been instances of insects, such as ants and wasps, becoming "zombies" from a real world perspective. For example, the Cordyceps fungus is known to infect insects and change their behavior before their eventual death.
