From the introduction: At one time, the Aye-Aye was believed to be related to the raccoon. It has a rodent-like face and a tail shaped like a squirrel’s. But the Aye-Aye is actually a primate. This nocturnal forager feeds off of nuts, fruit, and grubs. The creature has an unusual method of foraging scrubs. It taps on the trunk or heavy branch of a tree looking for the grubs. When it find them, it gnaws through the bark until it reaches the grubs, and then uses its abnormally long fingers to dig out the grubs and eat them. The creatures live high in the canopy of warm forests and jungle climates, deftly jumping from tree to tree in search of food.
