"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. | Hyena) The females will fight to the death. |
| 3. | Cuckoo) It switches babies with other birds and cuckoo chicks sometimes get rid of the competition. |
| 4. | Tasmanian Devil) The mother can have up to thirty babies, but only four survive. |
| 5. | Scorpion) The mother might eat them if on her back for too long. |
| 6. | Octopus) Raises itself in the murky depths of the dark and dangerous ocean. |
| 7. | Torrent Duck) Jumps waterfalls at one day old just to keep up with its parents. |
