Now let me introduce to you an odd mammal with an equally unusual eating habit.
the locals in Madagascar believe he is the messenger...of DEATH
with ears of a bat, monstrous yellow eyes, skeletal fingers
and teeth that never---stop---growing...

Common name: Aye Aye

Scientific name: Daubentonia madagascariensis

Location: Madagascar

Diet: nuts, grubs, fruits, nectar, seeds, and fungi

Did you know?:

The only primates thought to use echolocation to find prey

Locals in Madagascar believe Aye Ayes to be messengers of death

Similar to squirrels, the Aye Aye’s teeth never stop growing because gnawing on wood causes them to be worn down

One long, slender finger for retrieving grub from inside holes in trees
