"if zombies lose such basic senses as sight then how can they perform complex tasks like zombie eco-location? they are people, nothing else. eye sight may diminish but not to the extent you say. nice theory though."

"mclugh here, my research indicates that the deep sunken eyes of zombies are incapable of seeing, hunting is done not by scent but by feel. zombies emit a strange liquid from cuts and scrapes that accelerates in middair, bouncing off available…"

"It's not scent... A Zombie is still just an undead human so unless he was blind prior to turning his sense of smell would not be heightend.. remember they have not become zombies and suddenly inherrited an animals sense.. they will have the…"

"the only problem with your mud theory is that on days with high temperatures you would roast to death if you didn't sweat the covering off. other than that good call."

"with their ex-human memories I think.... As they comes back to the place they used to go when they're still alive or a place they usually go or hang around (or live-in). PS.if they can smell the scent would it be a bad smell or nice one ?"

"I'm for scent and sound. Think about it. They aren't suppose to be bright. Sight, isn't it. That would use brain power, but scent is subconscious and sound happens no matter what. And unless they are part snake, it is not going to be…"

"Contrary to what some believe, zombies actually are totally blind. The optical nerve is all but severed after a person dies, and it is not one of the bodily functions that is brought back after the reanimation process. Instead, they hunt primarily…"

"even without bathing the human body is saturated with shampoos, deodorants, and perfumes. if the infected hunt by scent alone then then we pretty much paint a map to our location. i don't see a way around that. personally i believe that the…"

"We uninfected tend to rely on one or two senses at a time. The infected basically use all senses equally."

"what if zombies have the ability to sense heat like pit vipers. The virus already changes the brains chemistry who's to say it didnt make a few additions. I dont mean full heat vision, but maybe being able to tell if a body is hot or cold…"

"I think it has to do with pheromones. Snakes are able to sense females that are in heat from miles away. Maybe the same applies to zombies except instead of being drive by the desire to mate, they're driven by the desire to feed."

"Yes there is...Ode du deadguy...or Rigor! for women..."

"Scent....then sight. They become animalistic, instinctive....hunting with the scent humans put off. Like animals that are sensitive to human scents, not as much as animals but more than humans for sure. Then, if they happen to see someone who is…"

"if it is a scent, do you think theres a scent you can cover yourself in to ward off the horde as well?"

"well they do hunt with human senses,sight and sound.but even with all of their sensory abiltys or destroyed they can still hunt some how,max brooks thinks it some sort of sixth sense.no one know though"

"usually in zombie movies, the people are chased to their current location. but im pretty sure they hunt by the senses normal humans use."
