The aye-aye is a species of lemur found only on the island of Madagascar. They are considered one of the world's most unique primates, with their large eyes, bat-like ears, and long, bony middle fingers used for hunting.

Aye-ayes are nocturnal and live in rainforest habitats. They are primarily arboreal, spending most of their time in trees, and can move quickly and easily through the canopy.

Aye-ayes are omnivores and feed on a variety of foods, including insects, fruit, nuts, and seeds. They have a unique hunting technique, using their long middle finger to tap on tree trunks to detect insect larvae hiding inside, which they then dig out with their teeth.

Aye-ayes are solitary animals and only come together during mating season. Females typically give birth to a single offspring every two to three years, and the young are dependent on their mother for up to two years.

Aye-ayes are classified as an endangered species due to habitat loss and hunting. They are also considered a bad omen in some areas of Madagascar, leading to persecution and superstition-based killings. Conservation efforts are focused on protecting aye-aye habitat and educating local communities about the importance of conservation.
