Zombie Heat Siganature

I wish to get this page in the science section somewhere near anatomy of a zombie. If anyone knows how to move it please do it. It would be greatly appreciated.


If any of you have seen the Russian zombie video you see zombies closing in on a human. The video is shot in thermal vision and the zombies clearly stick out from the environment.There is one problem with this scenario. Zombies are essentially cold blooded as their bodily functions stop, as well their creation of body warmth. They will begin to take on the temperature of the environment making them hardly distinguishable from the land. Their only creation of heat will be friction. Being only low heat, this will render thermal goggles useless against the undead foe. Don't throw them away just yet though. They will still be useful for animals and raiders.

However some may argue that since the rage, zombies still maintain bodily functions that should be able to see on thermal scans. This sounds incredible and may even be a higher heat signature due to the speed that rage zombies always operate at. Rage zombies are abnormally strong which I would think would be a result from the heart pumping blood faster to muscles and organs. This would increase the core temperature of such a zombie.

My theory is that the slow "solanum" zombies will be almost unreadable, while the rage zombies would be easier to read than a regular person.

I have heard that the video is made for a video game, so it isn´t actually real.
