Hello,
I get mailordered sets of animal cards, I get 3 sets every month
with various animals in them, animals, fish, birds, insects, things
like that, and every time I open the packages, it does not take me
long to find an animal I do not know of, I look at the picture and the
name and say
"A What?"
So....... I figured it would be neat and sort of fun to scan these
animals and send them to all Y'all! and see how you do!
If this is a stupid idea, oh well, I tried! of course I can only go
by the information on the cards so if I have been misinformed of a
particular animal, let me know K! ;)
Enjoy! if you like I can do the same for insects, fish and birds! :)

The Aye-aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis) is a strepsirrhine native to Madagascar that combines rodent-like teeth with a long, thin middle finger to fill the same ecological niche as a woodpecker. It is the world's largest nocturnal primate, and is characterized by its unique method of finding food; it taps on trees to find grubs, then gnaws holes in the wood and inserts its elongated middle finger to pull the grubs out.
The Aye-aye is the world's largest nocturnal primate, and dwells predominantly in forest canopies. It weighs about 2.5 kilograms, with the female weighing in slightly less (by an average of 100 grams) than males. Other than weight and sex organs, aye-ayes exhibit no sexual dimorphism of any kind. They all grow from 30-37 cm from head to body, with a 44-53 cm tail.
