I’m going gorillas/hawks.
This is an arena — whether it’s in/outdoors, there will be rafters of some sort — gorillas could take me up there to survive for days, let alone 1 hour.
One hunter vs. 50 hawks instructed to take out eyes, jugular, let alone the rifle itself? Gimme the 50 hawks.
Gorillas/hawks ftw.

Why gorillas? They are getting shackled by the lions and/or bears with ease.

There's a reason we've all heard of Planet of the Apes, and no one has ever head of Planet of the Lions or Planet of the Bears.
Gorillas rule!

do I also have a gun to defend myself? am I stationary or can I run around? do the animals attack each other, or is everything hell bent on eating only my face?

- 50 hawks who cares about these birdhans most hawks are less than five pounds and have hollow bones in an arena they have no space to get up to speed or attack from the sun where i cant see them so i am just letting them slowly come at me and swatting them down with literally anything like bird baseball one hit they die the end
- 10 crocodiles - these brotillians can run fast in spurts but for the most part are pretty slow and just want get get back in the water in an arena i just stay away from them and they never get me so big woop
- 3 brown bears - bearhans do provide a challenge but they are brown bears not grizzlies so you just get big and make a lot of noise and they probably run away so not as concerning as the gorillas and rats who i am choosing as my allies
- 15 wolves - these wolfmigos scare the living hell out of me because they are smart and hunt as a pack but i am going to have 10000 rats and its just a war of attrition at that point i will take more than 500 rats per wolf any day of the week
- 1 hunter w/ rifle - if this guy is like just about everyone else in northern wisconsin i have ever run into in the woods hes probably either drunk about to be drunk or hungover probably also has limited shots and im guessing is bad with his weapon so i am betting one of my gorillas can swing in on the arenas beams and kill this sucker before he gets off a fatal shot and that leaves me four gorillas to just kick butt for me and last an hour and after i kill his drunk keester i have a gun and maybe im just standing back shootin gators and buffalo like my name is swampalo bill and i guess i could probably shoot the lions if my ratmigos havent already eaten them
- 7 buffalo - these brohans i know from fishing everywhere in the west leave them alone and they leave you alone hell if they come near me its go rilla time and my friend sampson is beating one of these buffhans into a pulp and we are having bison burgers for dinner if the rats dont chew up the carcass before we can get to it
- 10,000 rats - ever see lord of the rings three when the army of dead guy ghosts show up at the end and just run through the bad guys like they just dont even matter that is what an army of 10000 rats would be like in thing its not even a question my ratmigos will be like we bow to no one and sail my keester to elfland at the end and throw a ring right into some lava i guess
- 5 gorillas - these guys are cool as hell and after they killed old drunky the hunter they would probably just hang out with me and eat some buffalo burgers while our ratmigos were doing their thing
- 4 lions - lions are are sweet as hell but scar from lion king was kind of a doosh so i dont trust them even though can you feel the love tonight by elten john is an all time make out song look lions it came down to you or the gorillas and frankly gorillas are just cooler so i am sorry to inform you lions that you are getting ratmigoed and you will just have to live with that or maybe die with that
anyhow there you have it bam another riddle solved by the old swcer take that to the bank bromigos

While I mostly agree that he's the immediate threat the moment it starts, so might be worth on your side... you could always take some other bigger animal and hide behind it for cover.

No gun. You can run around. The animals that you don't choose attack you, not each other is how I interpret it.

I agree, but you still have to pick him or you’re dead right from the jump. My assumption is that there is no infighting amongst the attackers.
The Z Machine

If it's a free for all, that's a whole nother ball game and much more winnable. The question becomes, how do you get the animals to attack the hunter and not you?

Isn’t most hunting predicated on stealth? Unless that guy has an automatic weapon, just dropping him into an area filled with angry animals won’t provide any time to get off a good shot.
I like the buffalo, for a meat shield and rat stomping ability, and wolves for rapid, coordinated attack. Besides lions, they’re the only animal accustomed to group hunting strategy.

If there is water in the arena I would take the crocs and hunter and just chill in the water surrounded by the crocs. The hunter doesn't seem like the best option to eliminate the other threats, but it seems like the one option that could definitely eliminate me and my limited protection.
Second option for me is probably rats and crocs as the rats have the pure volume to be a menace to everything else........ maybe this is actually my first option.

I assume the animals are united in their cause, either killing or protecting you.
If they’re just doing animal things, all you need is the hunter, as most of them will have better things to do than attack you anyway.

I don't think it's at all possible without taking the rats. Nothing else you can choose is going to keep hundreds to thousands of rats from reaching you and having most of an hour to bleed you out.
Not unless you're relying on being able to relocate somewhere they can't reach. Which, you don't know if that's possible from what's given. It's just an arena.

Is gravity the weakest of the four fundamental interactions in this scenario?

AI told me this:
That's quite the scenario! To maximize my chances of survival, I'd choose:
Combining the overwhelming numbers of the rats with the strength and intelligence of the gorillas creates a balanced defense strategy. The rats can handle the smaller, more numerous threats, while the gorillas can take on the larger, more dangerous predators.
That's quite the scenario! To maximize my chances of survival, I'd choose:
- 10,000 rats:
- Numbers: The sheer quantity of 10,000 rats would create a massive swarm that could overwhelm and distract most of the other animals. They could potentially cover and protect me from multiple directions.
- Mobility: Rats are quick and agile, making it difficult for predators to target them effectively. They can swarm and attack en masse, creating chaos among the attackers.
- Persistence: Rats are known for their resilience and ability to survive in harsh conditions, making them a reliable choice for defense.
- 5 gorillas:
- Strength: Gorillas are incredibly strong and can fend off large predators like lions and bears. Their physical power would be a significant deterrent to any attackers.
- Intelligence: Gorillas are highly intelligent and can use their environment to their advantage. They could strategize and coordinate their defense, making them more effective protectors.
- Size and intimidation: Their large size and intimidating presence would likely deter some of the other animals from attacking directly.

Problem is the hunter on the other end of the arena puts a bullet through you at second two and the gorillas and rats are defending your corpse.

Doesn't need anything to protect him, most of the animals are on his side.That one dude never killed Robin Williams in Jumanji.
Gotta take some chances with this many animals, he's only gunna be able to get off a few shots anyways with nothing protecting him.
Wildcat
Footballguy
You're assuming he has a clear shot. I could hide behind one of the gorillas (even a dead one) until the rats reach him.

Are the Lions female or Male?
The males just lie around licking their balls while the females do all the hunting. To live such a life.

GL to him with a thousand rats and w/e other animal you pick bearing down on him from the start. He probably has less than twenty seconds to get off whatever, and it's not like you're gunna just sit there stationary for him to measure up an easy shot.Doesn't need anything to protect him, most of the animals are on his side.That one dude never killed Robin Williams in Jumanji.

You absolutely can defend. By hiding behind 5 gorillas and sending 50 hawks in the air in his line of sight.

I think you should switch 4 lions with 4 Bengal tigers. They are big predators at 500 lbs and regularly attack large game. They would be a fearsome opponent if they wanted to take you or your defenders down. I wouldn't take them over the rats though...

I could see rats based on idea that they are designated to “attack” you otherwise. I’m envisioning some Splinter-trained rat army coming after me.
Bumping my own post, since nobody has yet explained why this isn't a winning strategy
KarmaPolice
Footballguy
So we are back to what the arena looks like and how intelligent the animals are. For example with Trip's scenario above if a mass of animals survives the rats, do they just wait for him and the gorillas to starve in the rafters or do they have to keep attacking non-stop?
Is the "arena" where a pro hockey team plays or where the Hunger Games are held?

NM - reading is fundemental. I skipped over the part that the goal is to survive 1 hour.

I would need specifics on the hunter. If this is Jesse Ventura from predator, then I’m taking him. If this is SWC’ers drunk hunter, I’m not. Arena type is a big need to know too.
If this scenario is the hunter is an average guy with a bolt action rifle and we are in a football stadium, give me 7 African Cape buffalos and 3 Kodiak brown bears. With the capes going 2 k a piece and Kodiaks 1500 a piece at speeds of 35 mph, I’m going sure mass here.

I personally like the hawk-rat combo because of the numbers. Not sure about the hawks lifting me up, but that would be great if possible. It really depends on the arena. If it's an area that I can avoid the hunter for several seconds then I think some hawks can be on him quickly. I bet they could even take his rifle and bring it to me.
My main concern would then be the crocs as I'm not sure what kind of damage the rats and hawks could do to their armor. But if the hawks could bring me the rifle then I would be in pretty good shape. I think the sheer number of rats and hawks could at the very least slow down the other animals.
KarmaPolice

My other thought is that if I didn't survive I'd rather be taken out quick via the hunter vs. mauled and eaten.

Rats can still get to you and the hunter in the rafters, maybe the gorillas too.

This may be the winning play. Just have the hunter shoot you.My other thought is that if I didn't survive I'd rather be taken out quick via the hunter vs. mauled and eaten.
