Aye aye

Category: Endangered Species

The black, scruffy-looking aye-aye has a head too large for its body, striking orange eyes, oversized teeth, huge batlike ears, and uniquely elongated fingers tipped with long claws. The aye-aye is a nocturnal forager whose behavior has been likened to woodpeckers and raccoons. It uses its slender middle fingers to probe for and pry out insect grubs and juicy meats from coconuts.
