The Aye-aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis) is a long-fingered lemur that inhabits the rainforests in Madagascar. It is the world’s largest nocturnal primate and has a unique appearance. When first discovered, it was thought to be a type of large squirrel.

The aye-aye weighs about 2.5 kg (or 5.5 lbs) and is arguably the most distinct of all lemurs. They are a medium-sized, mostly black primate with very prominent, highly mobile ears and a long, bushy tail. They are also the only primate to have large, continuously-growing incisors, like a rodent. Most notably, however, are the aye-aye’s fingers.

Aye-ayes are the most unusual looking of all lemurs. They are the world’s largest nocturnal primate at around 15 inches long (38 cm) with a fluffy tail that is longer than their bodies. They are covered in thick dark fur with white guard hairs they can raise when agitated or excited to make themselves appear larger.
