What is the genus and species of the aye-aye?

The aye-aye is the only extant member of the genus Daubentonia and family Daubentoniidae.
What is the difference between aye-aye and squirrel?
The possession of continually growing incisors (front teeth) parallels those of rodents, leading early naturalists to mistakenly classify the aye-aye within the mammalian order Rodentia and as a squirrel, due to its toes, hair coloring, and tail. However, the aye-aye is also similar to felines in its head shape, eyes, ears and nostrils.
What time of day does the aye-aye start foraging?
The aye-aye begins foraging between 30 minutes before and three hours after sunset. Up to 80% of the night is spent foraging in the canopy, separated by occasional rest periods. It climbs trees by making successive vertical leaps, much like a squirrel.

What does it mean when an aye-aye cries at night?

The aye-aye's nocturnal work continues well through the night, and sometimes he may not return to a nest until several hours after sunrise. Aye-ayes are relatively quiet, occasionally communicating with brief cries. A scream can indicate aggression or protest, while a small, descending whimper suggests competition over food resources.
How can you tell if aye-ayes are real?
For these reasons, sightings of the aye-ayes are rare, with their presence often being detected by tree hole marks and empty nests. An aye-aye nest is an elaborate oval construction of leaves, twigs, and branches with a single-entry hole.
