That's a good point. Also... I know they don't eat their own apparently. But when in a confined space like that I don't see why they wouldn't eventually. I had two opossums stuck in my trashcan one night and the next morning one ate the other. Seems like if their basic of life functions is eat/survive that would take over eventually. But then if that were the case they wouldn't have had that scene.

In the comics, the term "Zombie" is never used; I think that the same can be said for the TV series. In the comics, they use the terms "Walkers" (for the ones who shamble towards you, mouth agape) and "Lurkers" (for the ones who lie in wait until alerted to your presence... and then they come at you, mouth agape LOL). I BELIEVE (although I could be wrong) that the term "Sprinters" is also used for the ones who come running at you. I could be wrong about that.

All kidding aside, we can't explain how the dead could come back. However, it would make sense to me (LOL) that the "Lurkers" were the ones who had been dead longer and thus, needed to preserve energy while waiting for a time to strike. That makes sense
