 Aye-aye(狐猿)





The Aye-aye is a primate found deep in the rainforests of Madagascar. It combines rodent-like teeth and a long, bony, witch-like middle finger that they use to pry insects and grubs from tree trunks. They are nocturnal, which means they only come out at night. This gremlin-looking creature has been considered a sign of bad luck and was killed en masse by local people. It has now become an endangered species, but luckily nobody regards the primate as food.
