Oh man, this thing looks horrifying (and is therefore fascinating).
The aye aye lemur looks something like Gollum, which is always a semi-endearing trait o' lemurs.
The aye aye was named after the sound that it makes in the wild, although I'd prefer to believe that it's simply particularly agreeable.
Best of all, it's a wee primate, which basically makes it a miniature, malformed person. (Okay, that's not quite true, but I can dream.)
When they're young, aye ayes derive their nutrients from their mothers and gain their minimal social skills from play-fighting.
They have an exceptionally long middle finger, which they use as a tool to scrape food from within dying trees and such.
I've always had a fascination with lemurs. My nickname in middle school was Licia Lemur. (So my preteen friends weren't too witty. Whatever.)I'm interested in the aye aye, because look into its terrifying, glowing eyes!
