If your out camping in madagascar at night and see two orange eyes you have a super ultra rare aye-aye on your hands! If you hate its looks you may not like to hear it escaped extinction ( less than 30 years ago it almost got regarded extinct until a farmer found under 50 aye-ayes in the wild.

"aye-aye" Captain Matthew! How did the aye-aye get it's name?
No idea.
Matthew, you should have replied "I don't know." Then you would have been correct. See Wikipedia:
Another hypothesis is that it derives from "heh heh," which is Malagasy for, "I don't know." If correct, then the name might have originated from Malagasy people saying "heh heh" to Europeans in order to avoid saying the name of a feared, magical animal.
