Summary
On this episode learn from zoo keeper Faith Hall about the aye aye, one of the most unusual primates in the world! Native to Madagascar, these rare lemurs are nocturnal and use their oversized ears and long, skinny middle finger to tap on wood and listen for insects hiding inside. Once they find a snack, that spooky finger helps scoop it out — nature’s very own “bug detector”! Though their unusual looks have sparked myths and superstitions, aye-ayes play an important role in their ecosystem by keeping insect populations in check. Sadly, they are considered endangered due to habitat loss.
