Looks pretty alien-like, doesn't it? But it is not an alien it is an aye-aye.
Fun Facts.
Aye-ayes are nocturnal, so they have big eyes for seeing in the dark.
Aye-ayes have a super long finger for sticking into a log. This is how they get insects to eat. They use their super long finger to tap on logs. This is the way they use echolocation to find an insect in the log. Then the aye-aye chews a hole in the wood. He uses his super long finger to reach inside the wood and get the bug.
