Hello, my name is Joshua. I am The Homeschool Kid.

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.

Very Interesting! I do have to say.. that extra long finger does creep me out! Weird!!! Keep up the good work! Good job on referencing your photos, too! Oh, by the way...We have a friend who has an exotic animal farm with Lemurs included. They just adopted a baby kangaroo, also. You and your family will have to go with us one day for a visit! @jeejee
That is an interesting creature!
What a cute little guy! Very well-written post. Thanks Joshua!
I'd say that he looks a little creepy. I wouldn't want to wake up to have him staring into my face!
Nice topic pick! Echolocation isn't so common in a land animal.
Creepy finger...I didn't know they had that!

Wow! I'll have to show this to my daughter. She's fascinated by unusual animals! :) Thanks for sharing such an incredible creature!
