The Most Extreme is a long-running documentary television series on the American cable television network Animal Planet. It first aired on July 1, 2002 and ran until July 3rd, 2007. Each episode focuses on a specific animal feature — strength, speed, flirtation, appendages, diet, etc. — and examines and ranks 10 animals that 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.Along with each animal on the countdown, the program presents a computer graphics segment which compares the animal's ability with something equivalent in humans by computer animation in green (in the short-lived half-hour mode, blue) also color of both logos, followed by an interview segment with people who share some common trait.The series was made in New Zealand by a small production team at NHNZ. As of March 2008, there have been 77 episodes (76 regular episodes and one compilation special). | |

Hyperactive Metabolism | |
| The Most Extreme / int_4252fdf6 | comment |
Hyperactive Metabolism: In the literal sense. The shrew was the winner of "Predators" because its metabolism is so hyperactive that it is required to eat three times its own body weight in one day to survive. And that means lots of killing, hence giving it the title. | |

Mischief-Making Monkey: Monkeys were the Most Extreme city slickers, as they had become dependent on humans there, to the point of stealing food and clothing from humans — if the human didn't give food to the monkey, the monkey would run off with their clothing! | |

Artistic License – Paleontology | |
| The Most Extreme / int_4c4bebf4 | comment |
Artistic License – Paleontology: From "Awesome Ancestors": Tyrannosaurus rex was more closely related to your standard chicken than it was to the Komodo dragon. A more appropriate ancestor for the Komodo dragon would be the mosasaur, a sea-going lizard that lived around the same time as the last dinosaurs and are thought to be distantly related to modern-day monitor lizards. It would be like saying the Andrewsarchus was the ancestor of the Gray Wolf just because they were mammalian apex predators. Not to mention that T. rex had many traits similar to those modern-day birds and was most-likely warm blooded, unlike the cold-blooded Komodo dragon which has more standard reptilian traits. Oops. Also, saber-toothed cats were not the ancestors of the clouded leopards, but instead went extinct leaving no descendants. Woolly mammoths were not the direct ancestors of elephants. They were contemporaries with modern day elephants, and were actually cousins. A more accurate example would be instead the Paleomastodon. In fact, most of the animals listed are not only not ancestors, but some of them lived at the exact same time as the animals professed to be their "descendants". The terror bird, Haast's eagle, and the ground sloth qualify as well. | |

Body Horror: Nearly every animal in "Transformers" could qualify, but the animal at the #1 spot (Ribeiroia) really takes the cake, as it doesn't just transform its own body, but also its host's. | |

Savage Wolves: The wolf won "Monster Myths" because of this stereotype. When people heard a wolf howling, people think the wolf is out to get them. That is why they believed in werewolves, even though there has never been a healthy wild wolf killing a human in North America. | |

Bizarre Sexual Dimorphism: The male anglerfish is tiny, and attaches itself to the female anglerfish so that it can suck her blood and reproduce with her. Unsurprisingly, the anglerfish was the winner of "Oddities," as well as the winner of "Appendages" since the male becomes a permanent appendage of the female after mating. | |
