The aye-aye is a nocturnal primate found in Madagascar that uses echolocation to find food like grubs and larvae. It has dark fur, beady eyes, opposable thumbs, and an extremely long middle finger. Aye-ayes live in forests but some live in cultivated areas due to deforestation. They are territorial animals that eat nuts, fruits, fungi, and both vegetation and insects.
