"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. | Bee One queen rules over 20,000-40,000 individuals. Mates with about 12 different males. Controls by releasing pheromones |
| 3. | Naked Mole Rat One queen rules over 300 Naked Mole Rats. Everybody has to follow her. Prevents subjects from mating using smells. |
