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. | Cuckoo) It switches eggs to avoid caring for its baby. |
| 2. | Orangutan) It has found a way to escape the rain: put a leaf on top of its head. |
| 3. | Virginia Opossum) It can play dead for six hours. |
| 4. | Monkey) In India, monkeys are a complete nuisance and steal food, water, and other stuff. |
| 5. | Firefly) To get food, female fireflies attract males with their bioluminescence. When the male arrives, the female ambushes him, and eats him. |
| 6. | Alligator Snapping Turtle) Their tongue looks like a worm, so it attracts fish. |
| 7. | Moth Caterpillar) It can disguise itself as many things, even dung to fool predators. |
| 8. | Chameleon) They can't be seen with their amazing camouflage. |
| 9. | Rat) Cheats its way into human lives. |
| 10. | Fox) It steals various types of bird eggs and then uses rocks to break the shell. |
