Aye-ayes are partly terrestrial lemurs, second only to the ring-tailed lemur. The aye-aye feeds on nuts, which is chews open with its rodent-like teeth and scrapes out with its skeletal middle finger; insects and grubs found under tree bark, locating them by tapping with its special finger, chewing open a hole in the tree with its teeth, and extracting them with its finger; nectar from large flowers, which is splashes out with its long fingers; as well as other fruits.
It reproduces every 2 or 3 years, and is thought to range across large areas.
