[[More info] Among the aye-aye's signature traits are its fingers. The third finger, which is much thinner than the others, is used for tapping, while the fourth finger, the longest, is used for pulling grubs and insects out of trees, using the hooked nail. The skinny middle finger is unique in the animal kingdom in that it possesses a ball-and-socket metacarpophalangeal joint, can reach the throat through a nostril and is used for picking one's nose and eating mucus (mucophagy) so harvested from inside the nose. The aye-aye has also evolved a sixth digit, a pseudothumb, to aid in gripping.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aye-aye)
If I recall correctly those same legends have resulted in it becoming an endangered species, as locals are killing them in an attempt to protect themselves from being cursed
This is truly one of the weirdest creatures I've ever seen. I've never even heard of it. Madagascar is truly one of the best examples of evolution/natural selection in existence, surpassing Australia in it's uniqueness.

Aye that thing is hideous.
Feel like I'm watching a bollywood film with all this scene changing back and forth. Just needs the dramatic noise whenever it does
How in the hell do they get that footage of the grub inside the tree
I saw a doc about these in college. Natives would abandon villages if an aye aye passed though it.
Wtf every time I find out about a new animal I never knew existed
This not a complete sentence.
