Three-month old Melisandre at the Duke Lemur Center | Aye-Ayes are considered one of the strangest primates because of their rodent-like teeth which keep growing throughout their lives and a very long, skeletal middle finger, which is used as a primary sensory organ. They also have extremely large ears. | Photo by David Haring | Media credit to @dukelemurcenter Flying Lemur, Aye Aye, Tropical Animals, Keep Growing, Time Is Now, The Time Is Now, Skeletal, Primates, Endangered Species

This is the aye-aye! Native to coastal Madagascar and a member of the lemur family. Thought to be extinct until the mid-1900s. The largest nocturnal primate. Folklore considers them harbingers of bad luck because of their eerie appearance, however their unique adaptations benefit their environment. Threatened by habitat loss, persecution, and hunting; populations are declining dramatically. They are Endangered.
