Teeth?

[JulianAR]

Zombies are rotting from the inside-out, right? Slowly disintegrating into mush and dust. Internal organs as fragile as tissue paper, bodily fluid all but evaporated. So, how in the world are zombie gums still strong enough to hold so many damn teeth in??? Shouldn't most if not all of them fall out???

How can zombies rip chunks out of people with their rotting teeth?

In the game whenever you die I've seen walkers tear Lee's stomach open and rip out his intestines.

Which is extra odd considering that humans have omnivore teeth which makes it difficult for us to bite hard enough to draw blood... We were meant to eat slightly easier prey, as carcasses and vegetables.

You guyss know this is a game right ??

The zombies have a really good dental plan.

The skulls hold the teeth in place. Gums are just their protective cover, which is why skeletons can still have teeth.

The thing that confuses me is how are the walker's teeth able to rip through skin as if it were tissue paper? Our teeth aren't designed to do that shit.

Depends, if you google image search "bath salts, eaten face"

You'll find images of people with disfigured faces as a result of a drug that is linked to men demonstrating cannibalistic behavior.

Bite hard enough with healthy teeth and you can cause some serious damage. Walker teeth, I highly doubt it, maybe. But since it's a game, and comic book I guess they cartoonishly exaggerate the damage done.

Keep in mind that humans do not have full control over their bodily functions, we limit ourselves in even basic things like using our jaw /biting... walkers do not have this, when they bite they bite with 100% of their capability teeth or no teeth.

You would be surprised how powerful our teeth could be if used at full power without limiting ourself due to self preservation. I bet anyone reading or posting here hasn't even used half of his potential force to bite ANYTHING. Human teeth are definitely capable of ripping off chunks of meat if used to their potential. Reason we don't is because while biting we carefully adjust the force to how much is needed and we never use full force in order to prevent pain and self preservation.

Humans have a ~45% stronger bite than chimpanzees or other great apes as studies have shown. Chimpanzees are able to bite through and rip out meat of living gazelles for example.

yeah and plus we used to eat meat raw before we invented techniques to make fire, and our teeth haven't changed since then.
