"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.

| 2. | Beaver) Builds huge dams that could support a family car. |
| 3. | Prairie Dog) Builds tunnels and rooms underground that all have their separate purpose. |
| 4. | Weaver bird) Nest of straw can house 400 birds and weigh one ton! |
