7) Aye-aye
The aye-aye is a nocturnal lemur native to Madagascar. It is the world’s largest nocturnal creature. It has prominent eyes, rodent like teeth and a long bushy tail. It is renowned for its unique method of finding food; it taps on trees to find grubs, then gnaws holes in the wood and inserts its elongated middle finger to pull the grubs out. It is the only extant member of the genus, although it is currently an endangered species. A second species, daubentonia robusta) appears to have become extinct at some point within the last 1000 years.
