"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. House Cat) It is the only cat which hunts for fun and they can hunt over 1,000 different species of animals, more than any other cat.
2. Leopard) Their have good climbing ability, and they hunt over 90 species.
3. Jaguar) They can bite through the carapace of a turtle and they hunt over 85 species.
4. Cougar) The cougar kills 50 species from berries to small bears and elk!
5. Lion) Hunts in groups and kills 20 species.
6. Tiger) Strongest cat and kills 20 species.
7. Snow Leopard) Kills 11 species.
8. Fishing Cat) The fishing cat is the only cat suitable to hunt in the water and hunted ten species.
9. Serval) Jump to a height of ten feet in hunting birds and hunted seven species of rodents.
10. Cheetah) The fastest cat ever (at 70 mph) and it hunts only three sp
Off the top of my head I can put the bottlenose dolphin in that category.
Good call SS. Not only that but they are very nasty with members and girlfriends. They are known as kidnappers when mating is at stake. They will also run a member of the squad right onto the beach if he is out of line. Bottom line, dolphins are mean as shit.
Hyeenas and lions also kill one another out of pure hatred. Nobody can quite understand why aside from the obvious but it is one of the most ferocious rivalries in nature. Yankees Redsox have zero on this ongoing feud.
CD, solid cat post and a lot of comments on that list - Most extreme kicks ass and is a wealth of knowledge. If I had kids, the program would be mandatory viewing every single morning.
Love all these wildlife channels. Blows my mind how magnificent evolution, survival technique mechanisms in nature really are.

In the realm of cute animals that are actually quite vicious I think dolphins are probably worse than hippos.
Hippos generally mind their own business unless you enter into what they consider to be their territory or they think you mean them or their young harm.
Dolphins, on the other hand, are basically serial killers. They will hunt other animals (especially porpoises), stalk them, and then kill them for apparently no other reason than they enjoy it.
They also have been known to rape humans and kill men they perceive to be competition for women.

Absolutely.
Yeah, the pod is a a seious group that runs and survives on intense rules. If you guys are interested in highly social animals, hiearchy and almost perfect order I would suggest the following.
Hyenna clan * my personal favorite*
African Wild dog. *most efficient cooperative tag team hunters in all of Africa*
Lion pride.
North American Wolf pack.
Honey bee colony
Ant colony.
African Crocodiles and N American Gators. Yes, Crocodiles. The ones that everybody assumes are big giant stupid eating machines. They are actually highly intelligent and as advanced socially as many of the above.
Easy to go and on.

You said it.
I looked everywhere in Kenya and South Africa for one single pack dog but the tracker kept making constant excuses. I sensed that nearby Zulu, Massai tribes and other govt park paid offs were driving them away.
probably bc I know these fuckers would massacre me if I was in shit storm situation 
All those critters you mentioned not only are fascinating but are down right scary as hell, I mean they'll kill you just for looking at them crossed eyed...lol
I will never put myself in a situation where I would put myself in their environment...I'll just keep myself in the city...thank you very much!
Oh let me add a few of my own: hippos, lions, elephants...
“The mongoose is resistant to snake neurotoxins. The mongoose muscle nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) alpha-subunit contains a number of mutations in the ligand-binding domain and exhibits poor binding of alpha-bungarotoxin (alpha-BTX). We characterized the functional properties of a hybrid (alpha-mongoose/beta gamma delta-rat) AChR. Hybrid AChRs, expressed in Xenopus oocytes, respond to acetylcholine with depolarizing current, the mean maximal amplitude of which was greater than that mediated by the rat AChR. The IC50 of alpha-BTX to the hybrid AChR was 200-fold greater than that of the rat, suggesting much lower affinity for the toxin. Hybrid AChRs exhibited an apparent higher rate of desensitization and higher affinity for ACh (EC50 1.3 vs. 23.3 microM for the rat AChR). Hence, changes in the ligand-binding domain of AChR not only affect the binding properties of the receptor, but also result in marked changes in the characteristics of the current.”

Also where are you are seeing that elephants kill more people in Africa each year than any other large animal? Everything I saw said it was the hippo.
