By:Marco Mora

Climbing in too this odd animal of the week is the aye-aye. It's this weeks odd aniaml because it looks like a bunch of different body parts. Even though its a primate it dosen't look similar too us humans. Too form this odd lemur you will have too get the head of a rodent and the ears of a bat. Combine this with the tail of a fox, the hands of a witch, and finally the body of a monkey. Together you will get the oddest primate of them all, the aye-aye. This nocturnal lemur can be found in a place called Madagascar. In 1780 when a naturalist first dicovered the aye-aye they classified it as a strange species of squirrel. Even though the aye-aye 's body part collection seem strange you won't think of that when you it hunting. The aye-aye use's it bony middle finger too open up wood. It does this too get the grubs in it and it has no problem opening wood up because it has teeth like a beaver. This primate is very shy so keep an eye on it if you search for it.
