There's something peculiar about this primate, but we can't quite put our finger on it. Found in the biodiversity hot spot of Madagascar, aye-ayes are more than a response to a captain. These nocturnal lemurs are known for their unusual features like their long, skeletal middle fingers that they use for tap foraging. They tap along the tree branch with this long appendage until their pick up the sounds of insects with their disc-shaped ears. Then they tear into the branch with their teeth and use their finger to hook the insect. Aye-aye, Captain Hook. #ayeayecaptain #captainhook #sandiegozoo #fingerlickinggood
