It would've been great to see The Walking Dead creators' faces when they realised the time had come to throw a tiger into the zombie apocalypse. Even just saying that line is far too exciting. Tiger vs. zombies. Sign me up.

Fans were introduced to the big kitty in The Kingdom and after the immediate excitement of 'woah, tiger' there was one major aspect of Shiva that would've struck people. She's still alive and breathing... It's safe to assume that Shiva hasn't just been Ezekiel's mascot throughout their journey.

The tiger will have torn walkers limb from limb away from the camera yet she's still alive and well. It seems like an obvious point to make, but this is yet more evidence that only humans can be infected. Will fans ever find out why? And does it have any kind of significance to the end-game of the show?
