"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. | Orr) The Orr is a giant two legged man beast that doubles his weight every 15 days and closely resembles a blimp. |
| 2. | Blue Whale) It has a large size as well as a large appetite. |
| 3. | Hummingbird) It needs to eat every ten minutes and every day it consumes 2/3 of its body weight. |
| 4. | Argentine horned frog) It literally bites off more than it can chew. |
| 5. | Python) It can swallow something bigger than its head in a single gulp. |
| 6. | Vampire Bat) It has to drink more than its own weight in blood everyday just to survive. That would be like a human drinking a bathtub's worth of blood. |
| 7. | Tasmanian Devil) It can eat 40% of its body weight in half an hour. |
| 8. | Vulture) It has the deadliest diet of any animal: anthrax, botulism and cholera and can eat 20% of its body weight. |
| 9. | Pig) It is known to be very greedy. However, they are only #9 in the countdown, for they have been known to be very picky eaters and actually have quite small stomachs. |
| 10. | Tiger Shark) They can take a bite out of shoes, wire, coal, salmon tin cans, armor, deer antlers, license plates, and turtle shells! |
