Aye-aye

A close relative to the lemur, the aye-aye’s shaggy fur, huge ears and long, thin fingers make it one of the world’s strangest animals. Around the size of a domestic cat, it creeps around the rainforests of Madagascar, drumming its fingers on tree trunks - up to 40 times a minute - listening for subtle variations in pitch. Once it finds a cavity - likely to contain insects - it will bite into the wood and use its bizarre middle finger to fetch its dinner.

Where to spot them

Naturetrek offers a 16-day tour through the Northern Madagascar entitled In Search of the Aye-Aye.
