Can zombies swim ????

from all the zombie movies ive seen and games and tv and what not can zombies swin ???? i know on one zombie movie the zombies just walked under water and not swim.But that didnt make any since, wouldnt they float how can u walk underwater u would have to weigh like 4 tons. Also on alot of zombie storys it seem like none of the island nations of the world dont get attacked or even get talked about

Zombies cantswim across oceans can they ????

According to Lucio Fulci they sure can and even fight sharks while they're at it.

That is a good question. I'd say they can't swim.

Zombies don't seem very buoyant. I guess they could walk across the bottom, like they did in Land of The Dead.

Proof!

Ummmm....perhaps. I don't really see why not...

Yeah i'd imagine them doing that with their lack for the need for oxygen. :|

I'm guessing he was on a boat and got dumped overboard. Plus, this zombie seems to be hungry enough to go for sushi.

I assume that if a zombie tried to walk underwater the pressure from the extreme depths would simply kill them, which could be one reason islands could not really be attacked during the Zombie apocalypse.

Max Brooks, leading zombie expert of the universe, said that zombies sink. So if you try to escape the zombie apocalypse by going to a deserted island, YOU ARE NOT SAFE. A zombie will probably walk up to the beach and eat your brains. Being in a high place is always best when trying to survive...

Where did that clip come from?

Zombies are probably very buoyant, especially older ones who have little mass left to them. The only way I can see them walking under water is if they absorb water like a sponge which is very possible.Tiefster

i think they can. in resident evil 4 u saw a lot of zombies swimming. i think it depends on the director of the game. there are a lot of different zombies in video games and movies. In dead rising the zombie's eyes turn red while other zombies in a game don't have red eyes.iam2green

You know what, I'm not even going to try to make sense out of that.

The same film this famous clips came from: Zombie aka Flesh-Easters.

You had to have been there to truly understand.

Lucio Fulci's Zombi, also known as Zombi 2. Also has a really nice eye poke on splinter scene.mattykovax

[QUOTE="SpidersRMe"]If anything, they'd sink more, because then there's nothing but a skeleton, and (correct me if I'm wrong) bones sink.Tiefster

i dont see how yall can say zombies can sink. Arent the made out of rotting flesh and bones and organs just like us ?????

Iam talking about walking under the pacific ocean u know how deep that is the pressure alone would kill them plllzz explain that

It depends which version of a zombie you are talking about.

Yeah they know how to do the zombiestroke.MgamerBD

Yes. In fact, one of them won eight Olympic gold medals for swimming last year.SpaceMoose

Well,they crossed a river in Land of the Dead.

this is funny I asked my bf about htis not to long ago because i saw land of the dead and then he said no and it really didn't seem possible but I have to say I think it is very possible what would stop them really?

i guess it all depends on what kind of zombies they are. it seems like there are the stupid slow zombies (dawn of the dead, land of the dead), then there are the smarter faster ones that are more like animals.

some zombies in games/movies cant even run (resident evil). then there are movies like 28Days/weeks and games like Left4Dead. swimming wouldnt be too hard for the 2nd kind.

I can't speak on the buoyancy of zombies, but it does seem that they cannot swim and would have to walk at the bottom of the body of water, a la the river in Land of the Dead. That being said, no, they wouldn't be able walk across the bottom of the ocean due to the pressure. That is, unless they have incredible, super human strength and extra crush-resistant corpses.

good point.

Wouldn't lack of oxygen kill their brains!?...Maybe? :P

They don't breathe, so no.

They aren't even real.

Short answer is yes zombies can swim.

Now to clear everything else up.

Floating: Some people float, some don't. Quite a few dead bodies float. Now one would assume that depending on the type of zombie outbreak there are going to be some zombies, and float and some that sink. Now when it comes to deep oceans we'd see bodies floating at different depths depending on the body.

Islands: Just because zombies can swim doesn't mean they will be able to make it to your island. They will not be able to over power any currents, and most likely won't survive getting to a fairly remote island (assuming they are about the same as a regular corpse). The farther out the island is the better chance it probably has of being safe (assuming the current doesn't drop them off). Even though they can swim, or even walk the ocean isn't going to be an easy trek, and they are going to move even slower than they do on land.

It depends on what type of Zombies you're talking about, there's the Zombies that are pretty human still (like RE zombies), or ones that have lost their humanity (Dead Rising) I would think that some of the Humanish zombies can swim, but none of the shamblers can (they can't even run). I would imagine if you think of Left 4 Dead Zombies there could be some that develop the ability to swim...
