THE AMAZING AYE-AYE

A strange and friendly animal from Madagascar

This amazing animal is an aye-aye. It’s from Madagascar. It lives in the rain forest.

Aye-ayes are black or brown. They are very small. Their tails are long. Their eyes are big and so are their ears. They have really long, strong fingers. They catch food with their fingers. When they move, they’re not fast—they’re very slow.

Some people think aye-ayes are scary because they look strange. But aye-ayes are friendly animals!
