Does the work week have you feeling like an aye-aye? You are not alone. Rarely seen in daylight, the aye-aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis) is a nocturnal primate found only in Madagascar. This animal, which prefers a solitary lifestyle, spends nearly 80% of its evenings foraging for fruits, seeds, and insect larvae. It uses its elongated middle fingers to find and skewer food!
