For Science Week 2025, the ABC is highlighting the plight of our underrated native animals. Not the usual cuddly crowd-pleasers, but the ugly, the annoying or the lesser-known critters that are often overlooked, under-conserved and underrated.
 

With the help of suggestions from social media, experts and conservation organisations we've found 10 incredible animals you may never have heard of before. You can now vote for your favourite on the ABC website.
 

The winners will be announced live on air on ABC Radio National and in a live ABC NEWS blog on Friday August 15, 2025 from 12pm.
 

From 9-17 August across ABC NEWS, ABC Radio National, ABC Local, ABC iview and socials, there will be loads of fascinating interviews and stories about our underrated animals.
