Among quirks found on the net, here an animal very strange, primate of Madagascar. E described as being an animal with ears of bat, fox from , eye of cat, body of monkey, hands of witches , teeth of squirrel, is an animal unique way in or with features primates and roditoarelor .
L ' aye - aye a aye aye ( Daubenton madagascariensis , Gmelin 1788) is a primate native to Madagascar. It is the only representative living of its kind, his family and his Infraorder ( Chiromyiformes ) 's aye aye giant ( Daubenton robusta) is in fact extinct tempo.L ' aye - aye is not easy to spot, some of the best places to meet are the National Park Ranomafana , the National Park of Andasibe - Mantadia and Special Reserve of Nosy Mangabe , where many people were moved when the species was rediscovered in 1961.
has been described as an animal-eared bat, the face of a fox, the cat's eyes, the monkey's body, hands Witch and the tail and squirrel teeth: it is a unique animal with common features with primates and rodents, so that the first European zoologists mistook the animal for some kind of giant squirrel underground and habits that had fed on earthworms, and along with skewering middle finger, and as that the ranked ( Chiromys madagascariensis).

The face has a triangular shape and is often covered with hair, with tufts of hair on eyebrows and the nose: the eyes are relatively small, widely spaced, and greenish from the pupil vertical nocturnal animal. On either side of the head two big ears sticking elliptical glossy black, too 'they glabrous. The
main feature of the face is represented from incisors wide and flat, very similar to those of rodents, which have continued growth.
The hands are hairless and have opposable thumbs: the fingers are long, curved and with strong nails, especially the third finger of the hands front is little more than a stick up is long and skeletal three times compared to the other fingers. With this stick 's aye aye itself procures food.
L ' aye aye not fear man, and frequently si aggira nei villaggi alla ricerca di frutta matura o uova, per nutrirsi delle quali non esita ad entrare nelle case: quando incontra l'uomo, se questi resta calmo, non esita ad avvicinarsi per studiarlo ed annusarlo, mostrando in questo atteggiamenti simili a quelli del procione.
Il significato originale del nome aye - aye è andato perduto assieme alla lingua che gli diede origine, tuttavia si pensa che il nome corrisponda al grido d'allarme da fare per avvisare della presenza dell'animale.
Questi primati, infatti, sono considerati nella stragrande maggioranza del proprio areale portatori di sventura, sotto forma di malattie, disastri o decessi.
Essere indicati da un aye aye , infatti, vuol dire essere condannati a morte, mentre secondo gli indigeni Sakalava l' aye aye è l'esecutore delle sentenze del diavolo che si siede sul petto del prescelto e gli buca il cuore nel sonno col dito medio.
Perciò, qualora se ne avvisti uno, è indispensabile correre dallo stregone del villaggio, che provvederà a catturare l'animale ed ucciderlo, ed è stata questa superstizione la Rovina dell ' aye aye assieme alla deforestazione systematic.
