The Aye-aye is a mammal that lives in rain forests of Madagascar, a large island off the southeast coast of Africa. During the day, the Aye-aye sleeps in a nest which is located in the fork of a tree. It builds the nest out of leaves and twigs. The Aye-aye is an endangered species. The scientific name of the Aye-aye is Daubentonia madagascariensis is a lemur, a strepsirrhine primate native to Madagascar that combines rodent-like teeth. Aye-ayes are primates, mammals closely related to monkeys, apes, and people.
The Aye-aye has large eyes, black hair, big ears, and a long, bushy tail. The Aye-aye eats insects, insect , larvae, nectar, seeds, fungi and fruit . Aye-ayes are like a mammalian version of the woodpecker. Superstitions around the aye-aye may have developed because it is apparently unafraid of humans. It will even walk right up to human passersby to take a closer look. The aye-aye's reputation is, of course, entirely unfounded. However, because of the way the aye-aye is perceived, this perfectly harmless creature is often killed on sight.

Aye-aye! As if someone is calling you, it sounds, doesn't it? :)
It is closely related to "monkey brand", it looks so and I agree! But, what is that in the last paragraph? "Like a mammalian version of the woodpecker" Does it fly like a bat or what? Amazingly confusing!! :(
