I don't know. I think the tree could win.

It's just gonna chill there while everything else is trying to kill each other, and I think there's a good chance that once the last animal is standing, it'll probably just wander off and lose due to its short lifespan.

But the way the question is worded is "animals VS tree." Not a free for all.

FWIW, I use neither the word "versus" or "and" in the question. 😁🙂

(but I should touch up the body and add some commas)

I know. That's the beauty of the English language.
