Walking Dead: Could we see a zombie-eating tiger soon?

The Walking Dead is prepping for Season 6, could we see a tiger making an appearance in the next season?

On the Walking Dead, we have met the Wolves, but this is a group of vicious people who are using walkers to hunt people down and such. They are not real wolves. Could we have a wild animal on the show though? Specifically, could we see a tiger making an appearance on the show?

A ZOMBIE-EATING TIGER!?!? How are they going to make a tiger work on the show? Showrunner Robert Kirkman talked about the possibility of a tiger making an appearance on The Walking Dead on Polygon.

“There’s a guy who has a tiger for a pet in the comic named Ezekiel who’s really cool,” Kirkman says. “I always say that I never let the show influence what I’m doing in the comic. But I will say, when I was writing those characters in the comic, I was like, ‘Yeah, good luck doing this, show people!’ I think that we’ll be able to do the tiger. We’ll see.

“But it’s not something I really think about. I just want to do something cool comic-wise. I’m like, ‘It would be awesome if there was a guy that had a pet tiger.’ Seeing a tiger eating zombies and stuff. But I think we can do a tiger on the show. Game of Thrones has people fighting bears in arenas, so I think we can do some tiger stuff.”

We won’t bring too many spoilers on Ezekiel and the tiger, we just will say that his appearance would be coming soon if they stay on course with the comics.

I wonder how they will make a tiger work out on the show. Will they just use a CGI tiger to eat up the walkers or will they use a combination of a real tiger with a CGI one to do all the stunts that are needed. It could be pretty crazy.
