[edit] Fairy tale witch?!

What is up with that? What does that mean?

Much like other primates, it possesses opposable thumbs, but both the hallux and the fingers are long and thin, and appear to be in a curved position somewhat similar to that of a fairy-tale witch when the muscles are relaxed.

[edit] Aye-Aye a species of Lemur?

there is no mention on the article about the Aye-Aye being a lemur.......even if it is only "thought" to be one (i.e. scientist's are debating about what it's related to)


[edit] Inconsistent capitalisation

The capitalisation of the name in this article is inconsistent. As the common name of an animal, shouldn't it always be spelt "aye-aye"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.205.104.56 (talk) 16:28, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

No. See the Primates WikiProject. - UtherSRG (talk) 16:45, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reccomendation

I really like this page, how would I recommend it for article of the day? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Matt512 (talkcontribs) 09:27, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] echo location

Just saw on eggheads that aye-ayes are the only mamal to catch their prey using echo location. Can't see any info on this on the world wide web. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.68.155.196 (talk) 17:16, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
