Moms

How do the Moms of the animal kingdom compare to those of the human world? Do some of the deadliest predators have maternal, as well as killer instincts? The Most Extreme Moms goes in search of the top ten mothers in the wild and pitches their nurturing abilities up against those of human mothers. With polar bears that sleep through labor, elephants that give birth to 200lb babies, orangutans that build about 30,000 homes in their lifetime and marine creatures that produce 50,000 young, these Extreme Moms put humans to shame! But which animal will steal the top spot? Could it be the elephant seal cow that puts on 600lbs during pregnancy? Or perhaps the mother alligator that carries its young between her snapping jaws? Some moms are really cool, but what makes a Mom extreme? We're counting down the top ten Moms on the planet — so standby for the mother of all programs, when motherhood is taken to The Most Extreme.

How do the paternal instincts of the animal kingdom match up to those of the human world? Could some of the macho males of the wild also be sensitive new age fathers? The Most Extreme: Dads searches the African plains, the mountaintops of the Andes and the murky waters of Japan to find the ultimate fathers in the animal world. From lions that defend up to 20 cubs, to the marsupial mouse that makes the ultimate sacrifice to give its young a better chance of survival, there are no limits to what these Dads will do for their kids. But which creature will be the world's number one Dad? Will it be the South American ostrich that spends 40 days and 40 nights watching over the eggs and then has up to 20 chicks by his side for the next two years? The Darwin frog that eats its eggs and stores them in its vocal sacs to keep them out of the way of hungry predators? Or perhaps the mother of all fathers will be male Emperor penguins that starve for four months and huddle together on land to protect

We're counting down the top ten most extreme venoms in the animal kingdom, and finding out just what happens when these toxins get under our skin.
