The aye-aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis) is a lemur, a strepsirrhine primate native to Madagascar that combines rodent-like teeth that perpetually grow and a special thin middle finger. The aye-aye is the only extant member of the genus Daubentonia and family Daubentoniidae. It is currently classified as Endangered by the IUCN; and a second species, Daubentonia robusta, appears to have become extinct at some point within the last 1000 years. Order: Primates, Suborder: Strepsirrhini, Superfamily: Lemuroidea, Family: Daubentoniidae, Genus: Daubentonia, Species: Daubentonia madagascariensis (Gmelin, 1788).
