Rats, if I can't get locusts/tetse fly/malarial mosquito.

Hunter with ammo. Nothing, aside from the rats, is an issue for the hunter.

I've thought about this some more. You have to have the rats and the hunter, for defensive reasons alone. If the rats are coming after you, none of the other options would have a real chance of stopping 10,000 of them. Similar with the hunter, he could gun you down at range before your defense could get to him.

Rats hands down. You cant target nor eat nor swat or bite or catch enough of them before they overwhelm you or anything else. If that is their intention.

Hunter with unlimited ammo.

The gun platform was not defined so I choose:

Do these things have flares/chaff that could take out the eagles or does the hunter just have to fly into them or use his guns?

I'll take the gorillas.

About 12 yrs ago I was at the Santa Barbara Zoo and i was standing in front of a plexiglass window watching this gorilla just sitting there staring at us. He was about 10 feet away. All of the sudden, that gorilla took off full speed and ran right into that plexiglass window about a foot away from my face. The whole place shook.

It was frightening.

As long as it's a shot gun with 00 buck shot cuz we would want to inflict maximum damage with the spread of shot and not cause collateral damage on the other side of walls.

No doubt that of the large animals, the gorillas are the most impressive. Fast, violent and insanity powerful.

Honestly it's scary to even think about what 5 would do if coordinated and intentional in their force

Or if the category of Hunter included Steve Irwin - Crocodile hunter, I think you just pick him and not worry about the rest - he can figure out how to get me out of it.

Unless somehow someone sneaks a stingray into the mix

Are we active in the scenario or just choosing 2 to protect us. If we are in the game, it is hunter and rats, no doubt. The rats run interference and one hunter takes the air and the other takes anything that gets by the rats.

Too soon

Picking terrain. Im on an island surrounded by water of course... so all these anlmals are trying to get on my island

I go with 50 eagles and 10 crocodiles

The crocs patrol the water and birds help pick off anything else having to swim in water to get to me

This one is pretty good unless rats swim well.

Which they do.

And 50 eagles together aren't picking up a gorilla or Cape buffalo.

With the island scenario, gorillas would be the least of my worries

Yes but your island isn't 10,000 miles away from the nearest land, where all the other animals would have to swim from is it? If that's the case then that's all that would be needed and everything would die trying to reach you.

You're gonna die getting off the island.


We've got to be somewhat reasonable with this fictitious scenario!

A moat or island in the middle of a big river is a better way to place this, imo.

Other wise my hunter has an Apache or a Cobra and I don't need any of the puny animals. I want a bottle of good bourbon, cause it's gonna be over in a few minutes.

In the island scenario (in my mind) the island is in a pond or lake. I agree that some tropical oceanic island would be completely unfair. Im talking about an island maybe 200-300 yards from shoreline with water no more than 8-10 feet deep

Ok, thanks for the clarification!

Does make it better imo.

Surely, someone has all these animals and possible terrains loaded on a computer and can run simulations with the various combinations, right?

I would watch this hour (maybe even 2 hour) long program way before I tune in to see Michael Phelps "race" a shark!

Come on man...he's been dead 11 years...

Terrain: underwater. Double crocks/gators. Win.

No one said island couldnt be far out in the rules. Rats are the problem but thats why im putting distance between me and them with water. Some will drown and i have the eagles picking them off and harrassing them. Each eagle takes out 200 rats...plus the water and waves.

As far as big game...my crocs will be swimming and picking them off. Eagles can harass them as well but not their main duty.

At least give me 10 miles from nearest land mass and i promise nothin is getting at me. A mile, i still have great odds hut some animals might survive. Taking say 8 to 15 minutes to swim to me
That gives my eagles some time ti do work and crocs to get biggest animals but ideally would want a few miles at least

Once everything is dead the crocs or eagles will escort me to shore

I may even ride the back of a croc during the fight too, while others pick off those swimming after us
