You'd be forgiven to not fall in love at first sight of this peculiar looking lemur. The Aye Aye is a nocturnal creature. It has evolved over the centuries to occupy a niche amongst the 100+ species of lemurs in Madagascar. In particular, it mimics the role of a woodpecker (there's none in Madagascar). It taps at hollow trunks listening out for grubs. When located, it uses its powerful incisors to make an opening before using the long skeletal fingers to tease out the invertebrates therein. Only static light was used to photograph this subject.
