Description: Fact sheet from EDGE, a conservation organization that focuses specifically on threatened species that represent a significant amount of unique evolutionary history.
EDGE :: Mammal Species Information The highly distinctive aye-aye is the world’s largest nocturnal primate. It has a number of extreme morphological adaptations to its unusual feeding habits, making it one of the most bizarre-looking animals on the planet. The species is sometimes referred to as Madagascar’s answer to the woodpecker, due to its ability to detect and rip out grubs from hollow branches. Like other Malagasy lemurs the aye-aye is at risk from the destruction of its forest home for agriculture and development. Local superstitious beliefs have also played a role in its decline, as it is regarded as an evil omen in many areas and killed upon sight.
