Does the gun have unlimited amo? If so I take the gun and the eagles. Hopefully they are not all coming at once or it don't matter what you pick.

My gut instinct is 1 human and 5 gorillas.

The human can work on those birds, although 50 is quite a bit. And gorillas are absolutely massive and strong, I think they’d be able to handle the remainder of the ground game.

Edit: oh snap I didn’t see the 10k rats.... hmmmm

Interesting.
The humans gun doesn't matchup well with several of the animals. It wouldn't be easy to stop 10,000 anything, let alone rats.
Except for the human, the birds have no natural enemy and air superiority is a must for any battle.
If the gun is a high powered rifle, I think human and birds. I'm counting on the human to have better tactics and strategy than the others.
The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction is supposed to make sense.

I think you have a chance at surviving with the Birds and Gorillas. But realistically, you're pretty much dead. So I'll just take getting shot by the human to die a little quicker.

The man and the mice. Sounds like a good title for a book.

The armed man and the 50 eagles.

There are 44 large animals, 50 eagles, 10000 rats and 1 armed man.

The armed man can defeat any animal, but only one at a time. He needs the 50 eagles to tie up the 44 large animals and to attack/herd the rats. The man with the rifle then systematically kills the large land animals one by one, freeing up more eagles to attack the rats and reinforce against the large land animals. When the large animals are dead, the eagles finish off the rats.
So many better men, a few of them friends, are dead. And a thousand thousand slimy things live on, and so do I.

I amazed that so many are picking a single man with a standard hunting rifle. The man from a defensive perspective is a pretty weak link. He is more of a threat offensively, but the Eagles provide the range needed to deal with him rather efficiently.

I would take the Eagles for sure as I do not want to have to deal with protecting from an aerial attack and there is enough of them to tag team the others that would not be able to defend against them. Then I would have the rats due to sheer numbers. Even a grizzly will have a problem when covered in a 1000 rats. Elephants are eaten 1 bite at a time.

This would be an epic bloody battle but I feel the Eagles and rats are the only way to go.

I concur. I'd be worried about defending against the man but he'd be almost useless as a defender. If you pick the man you are toast.

My choice was also rats and hawks. You might be screwed if all the large mammals blitz at once. I can see one or 2 getting through. But 10,000 is a lot of rats. Especially with hawks tearing you up.

The only correct answer is Chuck Norris. The second pick is irrelevant.
