- Aye-ayes are eerie-looking: With large, saucer eyes, a thin, sinister-looking finger, and a haunting cry, it’s no wonder that in Madagascar they are widely believed to be a harbinger of evil.

I don’t care what anyone says this thing is amazing
No one said anything
I DON’T CARE IT’S LITERALLY NIGHTMARE FUEL.
Agree
@@cadman0752 that is our cousin technically… you diss the lemurs again I’m coming to ur house lol
I agree.
"Long middle finger"
I think this is my spirit animal.
Nice name to go with it
Actually…. Panda thumb go brrrr
Aye aye, captain.
😆
With amazing creatures like this in our world, it's no wonder where the inspirations for all the creatures of folktale come from. He looks like some kind of forest spirit or nymph.
Those eyes are piercing deeper than my soul 🤣
To what depths does your soul pierce?
And if anyone doesn’t know there was once a Giant Aye-aye (Daubentonia robusta) that lived alongside its smaller relative (Daubentonia madagacariensis). It went Extinct approximately 1000 years ago.
Only a thousand?! That must’ve been a chilling sight to witness at night
Aaron Hanson if they were still around I probably wouldn’t be frightened by one if I saw it. I would instead be shocked by it’s large size. Since the modern day Aye ayes tend to be up to 18 inches long at their full size I believe the Giant Aye ayes were about....25 inches long!!!!!
No prizes for guessing why it went extinct.
Let’s see: habitat loss, hunting, and reduction of their food supplies.
@@ermeyastulu386 Thanks to humans. We killed off a bunch of giant lemur species.
seems like a fox did the dirty with a big rat
nah probably some kind of monkey
Calling madagascar the Africa's Galapagos is an understatement
It's practically a world of it's own
I always wanna go to Madagascar it’s such a wonderful place filled with so much biodiversity.
Go while there are still any biodiversity left, last time I went (3 yrs ago) you could really see the deforestation going on. Even the famous baobab's may not last long judging by how the people sell its bark just steps away from the park
Hercados P. I My I have three sons and the oldest one wants to become a Wildlife conservationist, Paleontologist, and Zoologist. So he might soon be able to save all of Madagascar’s biodiversity before it’s too late.
untrepid two I am afraid of a few animals (such as spiders), but not my oldest son, he is so brave that he once handled a southern black widow spider.
It breaks my heart to know one of the most incredible places on earth is disappearing...
who knows... you might see king julian
Are you ready kids?
Aye-aye captain.
I can't hear you...
Aye-aye captain!
@Luke Skywalker liking your own comment? yeh kinda
@Luke Skywalker nah it aint.
XOXO gossip girl
Samandar ke andar Pineapple ka ghar..Spongebob squarepants
Lol I think of that whenever I think of the lil gremlins 😂
I now know the source of that eerie tapping noise coming from the attic in the middle of the night...
You have a roommate! Congratulations!
Still wondering how do they get the close up shot of the Aye Aye finger poking in to the wood to get the lave.. was it recreated?
They have very hi tech cameras and equipment. Nothing but the best.
Extreme ZOOOOOM
They probably filmed one in captivity. These shows splice all kinds of footage into one.
@@guy8646 that would be next level of effort for an animal species considered highly endangered and extinct few decade ago... and only active at night..
@@songsantov they have one in san diego
Me, personally, I think think Aye-aye's are perfect just the way they are.
Such a freaky, yet fascinating little thing
The Aye Aye has always amazed me since I was a kid. Wish I could have one as a pet.

@Macho Sancho mosquitos wont wait that much
What an amazing creature 😍
Those are aliens. Their ship crash in that forest and survive.
One of the rarest creatures on earth.
-Madagascan people: exist- aye aye: -we’ll be right back meme-
So beautiful! And what an adaptation to hunt for food! Thanks for sharing this video
Tbf, not creepy but every individual characteristic about it is a horror movie inspiration. Creepy claws, eyes with pupils so big it looks like there isn't an eye, weird toes, and the tapping!
What's spooky is that thumbnail

"It leaps like a lemur"
That's because it is a lemur
Lol
It's cute, in a unique way.
the aye aye is like a weird little dude that wanted to be a woodpecker
This is creepy because I just looked at aye-ayes on Google.
g OO gle
i want to eat that thing. yummy soup...
untrepid two but it came out the same day
It wasn’t because of Google. It was a coincidence
Yes it was
The ayes ayes super long finger makes me want to hide under 100 more blankets..
1:25 ok no thanks
I saw a doc when I was young and fell in love with them. Just amazing reclusive creatures. Sounds like us eating a cheeseburger.
The only thing I'd be scared of if it flipped me off.
Lol same! 😅 I love the lil gremlins tho
The reason the leap "like" a lemur... is because they ARE a lemur... sheesh! Get some facts in here, ok?
😃 congratulation 🏆 aye aye 👏👏
“It leaps like a lemur.”
It is a type of lemur. Why leave out a hugely important detail that can inform people trying to decide if it’s a lemur, monkey, jungle spirit, etc?
Yeah seriously I was wondering what kind of animal it was thinking a lemur but when he said “it leaps LIKE a lemur” it completely threw me off and made me think I was wrong with no elaboration :(.
Ai-Ai , horror night
So this animal used to flip off other animals coming to its territory, it was an effective evolutionary trait, resulting in it evolving to have those long middle fingers- facts
Yep😂
It is kind of gross and somewhat cute simultaneously.
That crazy long middle finger gives the Aye - Aye the ability to tell humans to stop destroying the planet . May the Aye - Aye live forever and long after humans are gone .
When the camera was fixated on its mouth the moment seemed like an ASMR version of this whole thing.
I got the fever
why youtube recommend this video when i can't sleep at 2:20 am ??
" a long finger with a sinister hook"
.....so a left handed hook?........
The Aye-aye is a lemur
incredible footage
I like these.
It looks like a mix between a squirrel and a lemur.
YOU BEAT ME TOO IT!
Amazing😳😳😳
Protect them and Madagascar from ourselves
It's actually natural in Mother Nature.
In elementary school sometime in the early 90's I found an animal book that had the Aye Aye in it and it looked cute with it's big ole eyes and nothing about it's creepy long claws. I remember it being my favorite animal for some time until I found out about the red panda. Thanks for ruining my childhood memories Smithsonian Channel!
Morrisio, I cannot move-it move-it anymore.
Oh morrisio
All jokes aside, I am in the minority of people who find Aye-Ayes to be adorable!
I’m flabbergasted
That middle finger though.
They’re are so cute and I don’t care what people say about them
Those things are so cute
They look cute to me idk why
This looks like a animation from CATS
Sonic movie
Girl you know aye-aye-aye
Analysis nests the aye-aye with Plesiadapis. Both nest with Carpolestes and Ignacius. These all nest with multituberculates, derived from several rodent clades, all within the clade Glires (gnawers), NEXT to lemurs and other primates. So the aye-aye is a primate-like rodent, as its ever-growing incisors tell you all by themselves.
Those eyes and those long sharp claws😱.. a bit scary.
Your sounds people really went all out 🥴
Reminds me of Rudy Giuliani.
:)
Why does the narrator say the place on evolutionary tree is a mystery?
A simple search online shows exactly where it belongs.
Is cousin? Is rodent? No, is cousin
Nuthin scary about that
They’re cute- Antonio Tranquillo
Found meanings mid finger: eat food
Covid cure on that island
Deforestation?
Wow 👏
Imagine breaking the finger
Woah this rabbit really creepy
Chillgull it’s not a rabbit it is a lemur.
I know what the long middle finger is for
Aye 👁Aye 👁
aye aye looks like someone breed a bat and a lemur
Where are the Giant People Bone’s you guy have huh?
Well we’re waiting.......
must have the PRECIOUS ......!!!!
Human relatives.
We have these animals in Newcastle! They're called the Wae'Aye Man! The rarer animal also found in this beautiful region are Ganyebugger and the Lesser Spotted Hadawaynshite! If fact, I have just stared an eco-friendly tourist business taking small groups to people on one or 2-day trek searching for these rare and wonderful creatures.
Then why is it if you look up those creatures you said, why does nothing come up? Are you just making up names?
@@vickyvkusnyatina6126 No I am not making it up! Honestly! Try looking up this small flightless bird that lives in the very long grass. It must jump up to see above the grass, its called Werethefuk Arwe Bird. And another local bird that lays square eggs, Its called the Ooaarrr Bird. We also have a bird that has no legs, when it lands on the ground it calls Oomygoolies Bird. Happy hunting!
We know it evolved but we also don't know it evolved.
Why is it hard to say that this creature is unique and there is no evidence it came through evolution?
Because there *is* evidence it came from evolution. It's not *hard* to say that there isn't -- it's simple, in fact -- but that would be a lie. It fits in with other lemurs -- as it's a lemur -- and we have subfossils of an extinct relative as well.
Kiss ittttt!!
Affascinante teoria della scimmia per il.pipistrello , lemuri sono non cani infatti io compreso dei topi muschiato
Sup
They're cute.
So is Aye-Aye pronounced like the letter “I” or the letter “A”
I-I is how it’s pronounced
Just imagine it grows bigger and start hunting humans
2:29
😍😍😍😍
Kinda hard to believe, but these creatures belong to the primates. Make more of a rodent-like impression.
Please humans make it safe for these species too earth is also home to them 🙏
2 pics in a book (god, whats that?) would do the job better....
охота ауе
You guys do know this is joke video that is actually an animation right?
colorado841 it’s a real animal annoying guy from Colorado.

“If they want to be the party of the poor, they have to keep you poor.” That’s it. They are not concerned about the plight of black Americans living in poverty, crime, and subpar education. In fact, it is the reason why they promote policies at the local level that are designed to keep far too many black folks in dire straits. It is why they support rioting and looting in predominantly black areas. “Racism is ginned up by people who want power and who benefit by keeping Black Americans ignorant, marginalized and dependent.” The last thing BLM, The Fake News Medias, Jackson, Sharpton, Barak and the Democrat Party want are self reliant, independent, black Americans. The democrats own the education system, the media, Hollywood, Big Tech and administrative government. If there is systematic racism or oppression, it’s at the feet of democrats. Lifelong democrat politicians who never did anything to improve the lives of their constituents, only to pander with the race card every time election season rolls around should be a wake up call for all to see the true hypocrisy that exists within the democrat party.
You do you!

"multiple Aye-Ayes are gathering for food, IT is ready for a meal" so, no. It's they because there are multiple of them
What a magnificent video! Thanks to channel owner. Very much appreciative indeed.
Dear viewers: Just for the sake of clarifying some misconceptions, don’t you all agree that the absolute credit, acknowledgment & gratitude is entitled to (ALLAH) GOD Almighty. The only TRUE GOD. The creator as well as the preserver of the whole universe. Not the alleged Mother Nature! Mother Nature is his creation. And certainly not the big lie EVOLUTION. Isn’t that right?
All species/wonders including human beings haven’t created themselves. GOD Almighty did. No alleged associates/partners with him. Consequently, he must be solely worshipped, feared & praised all time. I am not trying to make someone to convert, it’s up to you. It is your own choice to decide.
Accept my greetings.
