You're in an arena with:

You're in an arena with: 
- 20 eagles
- 10 crocodiles
- 3 thieves
- 1000 small fish
- 1 hunter w/ rifle
- 10,000 rats
- 5 apes
- 4 lions

Pick 2 to defend you. The others attack you. Goal is to survive 1 hour.

I would definitely pick 5 apes (assuming gorillas). Whether we take the hunter with a rifle, or the 4 lions, depends on the skill of the hunter and how much ammo is included with the rifle.

1000 small fish obviously

The rats and the hunter, the hunter makes sure nothing big can eat the rats while they chew because rats will do anything to escape
