True Facts About The Aye Aye

When we began looking into the natural world around us, we are often amazed by seeing things that we wouldn’t typically see. Perhaps one of the most interesting things to see and observe are animals as they go about their day-to-day lives in the wild. There is so much to learn that it would take a lifetime and even longer to familiarize ourselves with all of the animals worldwide, but some of them deserve at least an honorable mention.

One of those animals is the aye aye, a type of lemur that is native to Madagascar. They have special teeth that continue to grow throughout their life and a thin middle finger that they may use a variety of ways. As far as nocturnal primates are concerned, it is the largest but one of the most interesting things about the aye aye is how it finds its food. It taps on the trees to find the grub and then gnaws through the wood enough so that it can pull the grub out with its middle finger.
