The Aye-Aye, Daubentonia Madagascariensis, is perhaps the most strange primate in some senses: Their incisors are rodent-like and the third fingers
are very thin and elongated. On Madagascar, Aye-Ayes have taken over the role of woodpeckers, which are lacking on this island. Their great ears are
hearing the sounds of insect larvae in wood; however, their diet varies depending on locality and season, the incisors bite an opening to the bore-holes, and
the thin finger grasps the larvae deep in these holes. I have met two individuals of this "Near Threatened" species in the zoos of Frankfurt and Berlin.
