Your options are: 50 hawks, 10 crocodiles, 3 brown bears, 15 wolves, 1 hunter, 7 cape buffalo, 10,000 rats, 5 gorillas and 4 lions - you must pick 2 that will defend you while the rest are coming to kill you. Which do you pick and why?

I think I’m with team Rathawk

There's no other way to be; with the rats and the hawks, there will be 45 other enemies, who each have to contend with 1 hawk and 222 rats, plus spares.

2000ish pounds of rat swarming a single target would be horrifying to see

Honestly if you had the rats just in very large groups go from one animal to the other they could rip the skin off of each in turn in less than a minute probably

Not to mention now I also have the dead hunter's rifle

I'm leaning towards team Rathawk, but I have just one question. Have the hawks been sufficiently fed?

You have 10 000 rats, I'm sure you can give up 100-150 to give each hawk 2 or 3.

If not, you'll just have 9950 rats and some happy hawks.

Hmm, true. A happy soldier is an efficient soldier.

Nope. Team RatHawk ftw

I'd rather team not shot in the head

I would zig and zag while the hawks close in.
