Aye-aye Skull BC-163 $165.00 Order This / View Your Cart From the rainforests of Madagascar, the Aye-Aye is, perhaps, the strangest of the primates. They were first classified as rodents due to their rodent-like incisors. About the size of a house cat, they have very large, bat-like ears, large eyes and a flat face. They lack canines and have large incisors similar to rodents, which continue to grow and, like rodent incisors, have enamel only on the front surface. There is a large gap between the incisors and the molars (where most primates have canines). All the digits have claws with the exception of the big toes, which have nails. Their fingers are mostly long and narrow and the 3rd finger has a special adaptation, which makes it useful for feeding. This finger is narrower than the others and can practically swivel in all directions. We are grateful to The Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology for the loan of this wonderful specimen.
