AYE AYE OF MADAGASCAR: FIFTH SINGULAR ANIMAL IN THE WORLD

The nocturnal lemur « Aye Aye » is endemic in Madagascar and to its eastern part, in the rainforests. It’s classified as the Fifth most singular and unusual animal in the world. It holds the fifth rank after the Alpaca, the Tarsier, the Angora rabbit and the Axolotl. After the Aye Aye come the Blobfish, the comondor dog, leafy hippocampus, Yeti Crab, the ouassou, Physalie, the weedy sea dragon, the Flepi, the Marine Lamproi and The star-nosed mole.

Indeed the Aye Aye is a very peculiar lemur; it has the incisor of rodents, ears of bats and a queue of a squirrel. It dislodges larva of insects that have been detected by the patting of the tronc of woods with its specialized finger, to which it can get to by widening the orifices and by shredding the superior layer with its incisor and that it take easily with its big clawed-finger.

The Aye Aye is difficult to find out. Not only they are nocturnal but they are also in extinction.
