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. | Tapeworm) Each section of its body can grow up to be a new tapeworm and can give birth to a million babies a day. |
| 2. | Termite) The queen can give birth to 30,000 babies a day. |
| 3. | Aphid) The young are pregnant before they are born. If all aphids survive, there would be one billion billion billion aphids. That would cover the United States of America 14 ft. deep in aphids! |
| 4. | Nine-banded Armadillo) It can give birth to identical quadruplets and postpone pregnancy for three years! |
| 5. | Surinam Toad It can carry 100 babies on its back. |
| 6. | Blue Whale) Young blue whales are the size of small cars. |
| 7. | Rabbit) They can start a new family every month. |
| 8. | Kiwi) The egg is 25% of the mother's body weight. |
| 9. | Seahorse) It is the male who gives birth. |
| 10. | Tasmanian Devil) In a single litter, it can give birth to 30 babies, but only four survive. |
