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. | Parrot) Parrots can mimic human speech and some species can even understand what they are mimicking. They can solve the best puzzle, and even have the awareness of the average six-year-old! |
| 2. | Chimpanzee) They can use many tools to get food. They also have the intelligence of the average four-year-old and have escaped a jail cell in the past! |
| 3. | Dolphin) They have psychic powers, according to the show, and near human intelligence. |
| 4. | Octopus) Baby octopuses have to teach themselves how to survive in the wild within a little over a year. |
