I'll add more choices as I hear them -- but you have to explain why you think your animal is the ultimate.

Hippo:
1. They kill more people than all other animals combined!!!
2. They are so smart the get birds to keep them clean
3. They can run faster than Carl Lewis
4. They weigh more than a VW Bug
5. They eat and poop A LOT!!
6. They show their dominance by spraying their poo with their tails!


edit: I'll only include those with a reason as to WHY they are the best. -- you can't just throw out animals without giving a good reason

Candirú is a tiny Amazonian parasitic catfish reported to swim into urethral and other body openings of unprotected bathers. It is also known as canero, carnero, and urethra fish, and is a member of the genus Vandellia. When it swims into the urethra, it can be difficult to pull out by its tail because the umbrella-like spines near its head may extend and prevent its removal. Forced extraction may cause lacerations of the urethral mucus membranes, which has caused death by exsanguination. Remedies have ranged from penile amputation and suprapubic cystostomy to application of a native herb that softens the spines of the candirú, so it can be removed relatively atraumatically. A tight bathing suit can prevent entry of the fish into the human urethra.
