"you have no idea how animals work" is now Igor's all time dumbest insult

Is it really? Because I've yet to see it in the quote hopper.

I'm envisioning the "Flying V" formation, gorillas leading stomping a trail of rats, Wolves behind them chomping up more rats as I follow behind.

If I've got 10,000 rats coming at me, I'm not sitting still letting them swarm me.

10,000 rats would beat all the others combined.

The 10,000 rats is a trick. Think about an army of rats vs a lot of these larger animals. A few gorillas pounding at them and all of a sudden the rat number starts dropping like fortnite. The faster the numbers drop the more useless they become.


My instinct was wolves for their speed. They like someone else said have a pack mentality and would be loyal to the cause. Gorilla and Lion are a tough call but I’ll say Gorillas for strength. Wolves speed plus Gorillas strength.

I was afraid of the hunter but since he’s one man he likely will be ambushed with ease. He’d be lucky to take out 2 of my team.

Crocs could hurt my wolves but I think my Gorillas send them fleeing.

I’ll take on those fucking birds

Shadow ... my man!

Hunter and rats, obviously, assuming a good amount of ammo and I have a gun too. Me and the hunter are gonna be able to take out the larger prey and the thought of 10,000 rats bearing down on most anything is pretty fucking scary. Any other animal not frightened away is gonna get shot by us, then overrun by thousands of rats at a time.

I was really tempted to go for the 10k rats for biomass alone but I went with 50 hawks + 10 alligators. Any way I slice it I feel like I'm kinda fucked here, but I think this gives me the best chance. The hawks are a MUST and could easily take down most of the animals on the list. The alligators I threw in there cuz I feel like that's the one animal the hawks wouldn't be able to take down and they'd be able to chip away at some more of the land animals

Not really- hawks, like most birds, have very thin bones that are easily damaged. And they have to get close to attack anything, which means the flying advantage is out. Unless they are giant hawks from Middle Earth, they are gonna get fucked up IRL.

You've never seen rats overrunning something- this shit is terrifying.

They chew through concrete walls!

Think about it- any animal that takes out a few tens of rats still has thousand swarming over it. Thousands of things biting and tearing constantly. Nothing is gonna keep fighting for long under these conditions.

Igor has clearly never seen those scary Australia videos where a swarm of ants overcomes a dog. That shit scares the fuck out of me and that's even smaller proportions than rats versus any of these creatures.

Gorillas for sure. If everything was singular I would be tempted to pick them over everything but the hunter.

Hawks are interesting. Have the advantage of the skye, but how much do they have over anything really? Could pick off some rats, but other than that kind of useless. Hunter is a big variable too. What kind of gun do they have? Can they switch guns. Do they have unlimited ammo? Where are we starting in relation to the bad animals? I just picked my old college roommate and decided he wouldn't be helpful.

I'd just a nice canoe and have the crocs surround me. The only thing I'd have to worry about is the Hawks. If a canoe is no go, I'd just lie on one of the crocs themselves. Crocs/Hawks for sure in any sort of lake environment.

For land I'd probably take Gorilla and Bear. Lions don't scare me as much, and I think they'd be the most prone to a Rattack.

This site is full of fucking betas

I'm, just waiting to watch you wade into 10,000 rats attacking you. Mr. Alpha would shit his pants so much and cry for his mama as thousands of rats crawled over him and bit him.

Rats can swim.

Quote

How long rat can swim? Some species of rats can swim over a mile in open water, and can tread water for up to three days. Some species of rats can travel through sewer pipes and dive through water plumbing traps. Black or roof rat (Rattus rattus) is a medium to large rat (5-7 inches long).

10,000 swimming rats.

Falconers have used eagles to kill wolves in the past. I think the larger hawks like the Ferruginous hawk are much more formidable than people think.

Gators might be a good choice against all but the rats and hawks

You could swim your ass out into deep enough water and surround yourself with the gators.
