I didn't know Nick and Brooke Hogan were that tough...

Anyone knows an Ant can't move a rubber tree plant.

Orcas (killer whales) are at the top of the food chain among animals residing in the ocean. I don't think sharks are a regular part of their diet, but they can definitely hold their own against them.

More than "hold their own". I saw an encounter on one of those nature shows between an Orca and a Great White Shark. NO contest. Great White might as well have been a guppy.

Guppies are tougher than you might think.

How often do you test it pound for pound?

I'd say there's a tie between the werewolf, Superman and some of the zombies like Jason Voorhees or the ghouls in "Night of the Living Dead." From what I've been able to piece together from movies and folklore, the werewolf is immune to everything except silver bullets, Superman's only weakness is Kryptonite (although the details are sketchy on what that is or how anyone on Earth would acquire any of it), and those pesky undead bastards seem to have superhuman strength and can only be harmed in one precise way or under an extremely rare set of simultaneous conditions.

As far as creatures that actually exist, are you talking about the danger posed to humans? The box jellies that cause Irukandji syndrome, the blue-ringed octopus and some spiders, like the funnelweb spiders of Australia or the six-eyed sand spiders of Africa, can potentially kill a human with a low molecular-weight dosage of venom, making them the most dangerous animals for their size. I'm not counting mosquitoes, tse-tse flies, ticks, fleas or other biting insects, since they are only vectors for microbial diseases and wouldn't naturally pose any threat unless they were carriers.

If you're talking about strength or resistance to blunt force trauma, some beetles like the Hercules beetle and the rhinoceros beetle are very powerful for their size and are hard to destroy unless you're several hundred times their size.

Well....this sentence makes absolutely no sense...
