“The Aye Aye is thought to be one of the creepiest animals in the world with its name believed to have come from the cry of alarm when a person spotted one. Although the Aye Aye is a solitary animal, males have very loose territories that can overlap those of a number of others. They build their nests high in the trees and will rarely sleep in the same one two nights in a row”
