With the release of The Walking Dead's season 7 trailer at San Diego Comic Con on Friday, AMC has offered up the first look at not only the upcoming episodes for the fall but, more specifically, Shiva the tiger.

Shiva has been a huge question mark for fans of The Walking Dead and whether or not the tiger would be adapted to the big screen. Not only was Ezekiel's pet tiger confirmed to appear on television but was revealed to an excited Hall H at the San Diego Convention Center.

In The Walking Dead comics, Shiva is the trustee pet of the Kingdom's leader Ezekiel. Prior to the world falling apart, Ezekiel was a zookeeper who always treated Shiva well. In return, Shiva has remained loyal to the extravagant leader and protected him from any threats she can. Shiva is immune to the zombie virus which is not be mistaken for being immortal.

The Walking Dead will return for its seventh season in October. For quick updates and photos from The Walking Dead's panel, set, and show floor (and all season long), follow me on Twitter @BrandonDavisBD and check out The Walking Dead on ComicBook.com's Facebook page!
