Environments

Cold: Zombies do not last very long in cold environments. Scientists believe that this is because they are cold-blooded and do not feel the cold like humans do and thus do not feel the need to do something about it. So, it does not take very long at all for the zombies to freeze up. But although they freeze up, they do not die. And can even be aroused by the scent of humans and may even attempt to eat them. But the last thing you need to worry about is being eaten or bitten. Most zombies are not in the proper state to even try that in their condition. But what you do need to worry about is them pulling you into the ice. Zombies can break through the ice and attempt at pullling you in. So be careful.

Swamp: The swamp is usually where you will find a lot of zombies. But mainly you will find them in the swamp. When passing through a swamp, zombies tend to accidentally fall in. Scientists are still researching why exactly the zombies don't try to get out again. It is believed that the chemicals in the swamp soothe the zombie, much like a hot bath might do for a human. Regardless, it is best to avoid swamps since zombies love to suddenly shoot their hand out of the swamp and pull you in.

Urban: There are probably as many zombies in urban areas as there were humans before the apocalypse. So, why did they all stay? Well, first of all, it's a highly populated area with lots of food for them, and more food keeps coming. And second, scientists believe that there is still a part of the zombies brain still left from when they were a human that was comfortable in the place that they lived. Thus, the zombie feels comfortable there.

Jungle: Jungles are not especially good for zombies. The humidity in the air gets in their "skin" and moistens it causing them to decompose a lot faster. About 2 days of decomposing in the jungle is like 2 weeks of decomposing in the city. That doesn't mean that jungles are safe. The jungle life (such as monkeys and parrots) may have caught the virus. And the jungle life doesn't decompose like human zombies do. (View the Animal Zombies page to learn more.)

Desert: Scientists do not know why, but Zombies seem to thrive better in warmer, dry climates. They do not decay nearly as fast and live almost twice as long in the desert. In urban desert areas, you can find lots of zombies usually as most of them have not died out. You may occasionally find a zombie wandering the desert wastes, but usually the zombies stay close to the food sources in the urban areas of the desert.
