The Most Extreme is a long-running documentary TV series on the American cable television network, Animal Planet. It first aired on July 1, 2002. Each episode focuses on a specific animal feat, such as strength, speed, flirtation, appendages, diet, etc., and examines and ranks 10 animals which portray extreme or unusual examples of that quality. The rankings are not arrived at by a scientifically rigorous process; they serve only to give a broad depiction.
| 1. | Termite) A human sized termite can make a building bigger than the Empire State Building relative to its size, with only dirt, dung and saliva. |
| 2. | Beaver) It builds its own huge dams. |
| 3. | Bee) They carefully build witty hives. |
| 4. | Nautilus) They build their own underwater mobile home that can withstand being under 1,500 ft. of water pressure. |
| 5. | Caddisfly |
| 6. | Prairie Dog) They can build underground canals that can stretch over a mile! |
| 7. | Spider) They build silk that is five times stronger than steel! |
| 8. | Bowerbird) The male builds the most decorative house to attract a mate. |
| 9. | Orangutan) They build beds every night. |
| 10. | Grey tree frog) When they mate, the female creates a bubbly home that hangs on a cliff. After that, the eggs fall on the bubbly home, and then after hatching, they fall into a small body of water. It's only #10 because it doesn't last very long. |
