The Aye-Aye: The Woodpecker Primate

The Aye-Aye: The Woodpecker Primate On the island of Madagascar lives a lemur that has been misunderstood and persecuted for centuries due to its "eerie" appearance. Bizarre Anatomy: The Aye-Aye is the world's largest nocturnal primate. It possesses rodent-like teeth that never stop growing and enormous bat-like ears to detect movement inside tree trunks. The "Magic" Finger: Its most famous feature is an exceptionally long, thin middle finger. It uses this finger to tap on trees (acoustic foraging) to find grubs. Once it hears a hollow echo, it gnaws a hole and uses that skeletal finger like a hook to pull out its meal. A Symbol of Bad Luck: Tragically, local folklore often labels the Aye-Aye as a harbinger of doom. This has led to them being killed on sight, pushing this unique evolutionary branch toward extinction.
