Discussion about the hypothetical scenario of a zombie apocalypse.

Unless stated otherwise, by zombie we're refering to The Walking Dead -kind of undead creature.

Serious discussion only.

Do you think wildlife will be able to kill all the zombies in the ruralside? (lemm.ee)

A big factor will be if the Zombie infection can jump species and use zoonotic reservoir.

IFF Zombies are human only, then nature and time will attrit them sufficiently in rural areas, even if zombie eat animals, they don't have the ability to repopulate without base humans (assumption)... Nature will simply attenuate them.

If the infection is zoonotic.... then the rural areas may be "safer" from zombie concentrations, but pose a risk for survivor groups getting infected from interactions with wildlife. i.e. can't let your guard down
