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. | Shrew) Since they have such a huge metabolism, (their heart beats 600 times a minute), it's the busiest predator in the world and some species need to eat three times their own body weight in one day to survive! |
| 2. | Killer Whale) It can do something beyond the limits of other marine animals: it can land on a beach to catch a seal. |
| 3. | Wolf) They use teamwork strategy to slay prey eight times bigger. |
| 4. | Shark) The most infamous predator in the sea. |
| 5. | Electric Eel Without teeth, it uses electricity to paralyze their prey and swallow. |
| 6. | Snake) It can sense prey using infrared. |
| 7. | Spider) Its web says it all. |
| 8. | Polar Bear) Its sensitive snout can catch the smell of a seal hiding under three feet of thick sea ice. |
| 9. | Archerfish) They spit water at their insect prey which can be eight feet high. |
| 10. | Crocodile) The perfect predator. Although, they are only #10 because they can wait a year to attack at a time. |
