Aye, you want it, I got it. Hey guys me again bringing you the latest in sweet facts. As you all know I'm the greatest fact writer of all time. Not that "did you know facts" guy, he probably steals my facts. Today, I have facts on this animal known as an Aye-Aye. It's a nocturnal animal with big, bulgy eyes that lives in the country of Madagascar. I don't remember if it's in the movie though. Aye-Ayes have really long claws on all of their fingers and toes except for the thumbs. It helps them to grip tree branches and other things. Neat right? An Aye-Aye is either dark brown or black and they sleep high up in the leaves of trees in little balls all day long. They have a bad rep and are believed to be an omen of bad luck, so the citizens of Madagascar would kill them on sight. Because of this the Aye-Aye is an endangered species that is protected by the law now. They are mammals and primates. They're actually the only primate believed to find their prey with echolocation. They tap on the branches of trees and listen for insects to move around. Delicious. Also, if they aren't murdered or killed by other animals then their life span is usually around 20 years. They only get to be about 17 inches long from their body and head, but their tail, which is very bushy and huge, gets to be about 24 inches long. That's all I have about them now folks, adios.
