    gorillas and rats.

    Gorillas have the raw power and rats have the extreme numbers to keep the hawks busy as cannon fodder and overwhelm most of the ground attackers.

    If “buffalo” mean Cape buffalo and not bison, they would seem to be invaluable given their natural circling defenses against lion prides.

    The problem is none of them would provide much of a defense against 50 aggressively attacking hawks (assuming you're standing in an open area).

    No. They’re rats. If they had their shit together they’d be taking over cities and whatnot but at the end of they day they’re not ferocious killers like in the movies. And crocodiles on land would be easy to deal with. A gorilla would destroy a crocodile on land.

    The difficult thing about this exercise is that the hunter and the hawks are probably the biggest threat, but probably the worst options to defend.

    The hunter just needs 1 shot. You have to take him out first and gamble that the your defenders can get to him, before he can get off a shot at you. And youre gonna sacrifice a decent amount of your defense animals in the process. Im not sure how you defend from 50 hawks tbh.

    I guess it depends on what kind of area this is. Like hunger games, where there's different terrain to hide behind. Is it a sports arena that fairly small and inclosed? ect.

    The hunter would be one of the first things to go down. They would have to go full John Wick and be getting nothing but headshots before any of those others listed even so much as graze them and take them out. Hunter is bottom tier.

    How many rats out of 10k you think you could kill before they take you down? Answer is less than 50 and that’s not counting the other animals if you chose the hunter to defend you. Hawks and rats are the way to go. Hawks wouldn’t be great defense but they could basically rip the faces off of the gorillas, bears, lions. And if you don’t have the hawks you’re dead as fuck because they’d easily kill you with nothing stopping them. Rats are the distraction while the hawks rip apart everything

    the hunter will kill you in three seconds assuming the hunter knows the rules of the game

    the rats will overwhelm you by sheer numbers if you don’t choose them

    I don’t think you can survive the initial charge by the bears, buffalos, and gorillas with the hunter and rats

    It's not about how many rats I can kill, it's how many my defense can kill.

    If they don't have to go through your defense before getting to you then the hunter takes you out as soon as it starts.
    Unless it's some kind of "arena" where you can hide before the game starts.

    Exactly. The hunter would be more focused on protecting himself from all the animals than shooting you. Can’t believe so many people in the replies chose the hunter. A guy with a rifle beside you is getting wrecked by all those other animals.

    if it’s an arena with 10k rats, they’re not going to be worried about you first. The sheer volume of 10k rats would make it where they’re already at his feet when the thing starts
