In this post, i'll tell to you about most unique animal in the world that is Aye-Aye. Aye-ayes can be found only on the island of Madagascar. These
rare animals may not look like primates at first glance, but they are related
to chimpanzees, apes, and humans.
Aye-ayes are dark brown or black and are distinguished by a
bushy tail that is larger than their body. They also feature big eyes, slender
fingers, and large, sensitive ears. Aye-ayes have pointed claws on all their
fingers and toes except for their opposable big toes, which enable them to
dangle from branches.
Aye-ayes spend their lives in rain forest trees and avoid coming
down to earth. They are nocturnal, and spend the day curled up in a ball-like
nest of leaves and branches. The nests appear as closed spheres with single
entry holes, situated in the forks of large trees.
How they get their food? Aye aye is a creature that can kill just with their finger. The truth is more natural than supernatural. The unique of this creature is their finger. They knock the wood and hear the sound vibration because the knock. After they hear something to eat like grubs, and with their sharp teeth they wipe away the bark. And the make a hole with their middle finger to find something to eat. If they find something and then the
It employs the same middle finger to fish them out. The digit is also useful
for scooping the flesh out of coconuts and other fruits that supplement the
animal's insect diet.
Many people native to Madagascar consider the aye-aye an omen of
ill luck. For this reason they often have been killed on sight. Such hunting,
coupled with habitat destruction, have made the aye-aye critically endangered.
Today they are protected by law.
