The Aye-aye is a unique primate native to Madagascar. It is known for its distinct appearance, featuring large eyes, long fingers, and a bushy tail. The Aye-aye primarily feeds on insects, using its elongated middle finger to tap on tree bark and locate larvae.
This nocturnal creature is classified as a type of lemur and is the world's largest nocturnal primate. The Aye-aye plays a crucial role in its ecosystem by helping control insect populations. Unfortunately, it is considered endangered due to habitat loss and local superstitions that associate it with bad luck.
