Tasmanian Devils.
They mate, but only for survival.
And they're like an old married couple, who happen to bite and try to rip each others throats out.
Or Humans.
We're pretty cruel.
I mean, we skin animals, and then wear them!
I don't personally, I think that's disgusting and wrong.
But humans are not a species.
We're a branch.
If you take Darwins Theory then that would make gorillas and orangutangs part of the evilest species EVER!
But I don't know.
I think it's the Tasmanian Devil.
Hope I helped!

I'm going to have to go off the board for this one. I've got three candidates, who I think are the most vicious simply because they use mind control.
The parasitic hairworm Spinochordodes tellinii matures inside its grasshopper host, growing and taking up an ever-larger amount of its insides. When it's ready to leave, it secretes hormones that make the grasshopper commit suicide by jumping into the water! It then emerges, several times the length of its former host to find a mate while the grasshopper, bleeding, full of holes, and drowning, slowly dies. (link 1)
A liver fluke Dicrocoelium dendriticum will, at one point in its life, be eaten by an ant, usually with hundreds of his siblings. They then proceed to eat their way out of its body from its stomach. Which you would think would kill the ant... and normally it would, but these guys patch up the holes they make at they go. Then one of the flukes makes his way to the ant's brain and begins chewing away part of that, until the ant can be mindlessly steered to the top of a blade of grass. And wait to be eaten by a sheep. So the ant has had hundred of holes chewed in it and some of its brain eaten away so it can be forced to sacrifice itself in such a way the the flukes have a nice environment for an orgy. (link 2)
While the fluke's story makes my skin crawl at the thought in a way that the idea of being torn apart by wolves never does, the worm's is also highly unsettling to me as well. And both, in my opinion, monstrous.
How can you beat driving a still-living, agonizing zombie to its death?

If you consider humans an animal species then we are definitely the meanest.

Homo sapiens.
Humans are the only creatures, that we know for certain, are self aware. Meanness is a measure of ones disregard for morality where it concern's another's feelings. To be mean requires being aware, and as such, only Human beings are capable, as far as we know, of being mean.

probably the human being. I don't think any other animal can commit the barbarous, gratuitous acts that human beings are capable of.
