This animal is well, a little strange looking. It's real name is Daubentonia madagascariensis. As you might guess from it's species, its a native of Madagascar. It is the largest nocturnal primate. Being a primate it has posable thumbs, but another interesting trademark of the aye-aye is it's exceptionally long middle finger.
The aye-aye is considered to be an omnivore. It chews holes in wood and uses it's elongated fingers to dig out any grubs. Eww!

Native villagers believe seeing an aye-aye is a symbol of death mostly because of how scary it looks. To counteract this bad omen one must kill the aye aye.
