You have a team of 10 clones with you and no weapons, what's the biggest animal you could take down in a open field?

Also what would be your strategy to taking down said largest animal?

A blue whale. My strategy? Have a nice cup of tea and wait 5 minutes
- Not again.
  
  Damn petunias
obigatory: "your mom".
Prolly a dinosaur

Cus they're dead
- So a team of you just collectively stomping/T-bagging a random dinosaur Skeleton?
Size is a poor indicator. 11 of me could take down a large but slow grazing animal. But a smaller predator would jack up 11 unarmed me's.
Maybe we could all gnaw on a cow long enough to bring it down.
- 11 of me could probably take a buffalo. We might lose one or two of us, but come out on top.
  
  With no weapons, I find this unlikely. The buffalo would pulverize you one by one and there's not much the rest of you could do to harm it. If you crowd together it could trample you all in one go.
like a medium sized pig maybe? but only if it was on a spit and already cooked. me and the boys could take it down in like 30 minutes.
Dig a hole. Cover it up with thin sticks and leaves.

Wait for said animal to walk across it. Fall down and die. For a quicker death, maybe just poke it with a pointy stick
I don’t know. Maybe a golden retriever? We’d take it down with lots of pets and belly rubs.
A giraffe probably, just go for the legs, then improvise.
This reminds me of a rhetorical question that I'll modify:

Would you rather fight a big animal with 10 clones, or fight a big clone with 10 animals?

For your question, if we are sticking to size alone, I think me, myself, and 10 of myself could take down an elephant. It doesn't appear we need to kill it (thanks!), so tripping is the name of the game. Everyone grab a leg!
It's clone of me and I don't want to get hurt, so probably a baby deer...
kodiak grizzly. 6 of my clones would die but, eh, they're clones.
You don't need the clones. You just need to be able to stay out of the animals reach. We are the only animals capable of running for days at a time. We're not the fastest, burn motion is very energy conservative.

You could hurry most prey to chase you run away from it and just keep doing it until the prey died of exhaustion. Of course you'd have to be in top physical condition which mean or any of my clones would be but the training will be part of the requirement.
I reckon 11 of me could take down a wolf. Thered be casualties for sure but I'm 6ft and twice the weight of a wolf.

I would stand in a circle and close in on it. Then throw a clone at its head so the mouth gets occupied then we all grabe a leg and try breaking them.
