Aye-aye

The aye-aye, Daubentonia madagascariensis, is a nocturnal animal that forages alone and spends up to eighty percent of the night feeding and moving about.

The aye-aye taps on wood with its thin middle finger to find subsurface cavities containing insect larvae.

When the aye-aye finds prey, it hooks it with the tip of its finger and then pulls it out.

The aye-aye finds its food by tapping on wood, locating grubs from the echo of the taps.
