so here is about AYE AYE..

Aye-ayes can be found only on the island of Madagascar. These rare animals may not look like primates at first glance, but they are related to chimpanzees, apes, and humans.

Aye-ayes are dark brown or black and are distinguished by a bushy tail that is larger than their body. They also feature big eyes, slender fingers, and large, sensitive ears. Aye-ayes have pointed claws on all their fingers and toes except for their opposable big toes, which enable them to dangle from branches.

Aye-ayes spend their lives in rain forest trees and avoid coming down to earth. They are nocturnal, and spend the day curled up in a ball-like nest of leaves and branches. The nests appear as closed spheres with single entry holes, situated in the forks of large trees.

While perched aloft, the aye-aye taps on trees with its long middle finger and listens for wood-boring insect larvae moving under the bark. It employs the same middle finger to fish them out. The digit is also useful for scooping the flesh out of coconuts and other fruits that supplement the animal's insect diet.

Many people native to Madagascar consider the aye-aye an omen of ill luck. For this reason they often have been killed on sight. Such hunting, coupled with habitat destruction, have made the aye-aye critically endangered. Today they are protected by law.

Cornish Rex

This elegant lady has been rather fabulously named ‘Quails Nest Kissing Time of Boska’, or Kissy III for short. The regal moniker is quite appropriate, really, for a kitty with such a beautiful, wavy fur coat – or, to be precise, undercoat. Unlike other cats, the Cornish Rex (for this is our next breed) lacks the two outer layers of hair, known as guard hair and awn hair, respectively. Instead, it’s only protected by a silky down layer. And the Cornish Rex, along with the Devon Rex, has much softer fur than other cats.

As well as their beautiful hair, Cornish Rexes also have other distinguishing features, such as high cheekbones, hollow cheeks, long ‘Roman’ noses, strong chins, small waists, and long legs. It sounds like they were made for the catwalk! And as if that weren’t enough, the breed also flaunts a stylish selection of colors, including lilac, cream, ‘smoke’, tortoiseshell, and ‘tuxedo’.

The ‘Rex’ part of this kitty’s name means ‘king’ in Latin, of course, although what you might not know is that this harks back to a time when King Albert I of Belgium entered some curly-haired rabbits into a show. Since then, it has become tradition to add ‘Rex’ to the moniker of breeds with curly or unusual fur. As the first part of its name implies, the Cornish Rex was first bred in Cornwall. The breed can be traced back to a male cat called Kallibunker; not quite ‘Quails Nest Kissing Time of Boska’, but a sweet name nevertheless.
