Aye-Aye: Madagascar's Unique Lemur

Native to Madagascar, the Aye-Aye is a lemur that has an elongated middle finger, which it uses to tap on trees and extract insects. This unique feeding method has led to the local folklore belief that the Aye-Aye is a harbinger of death. Villagers associate its appearance with impending demise, considering it an omen of misfortune.
