Some Animals of Madagascar

Some of the worlds most interesting animals live in Madagascar. About 75% of the animals found there exist nowhere else. Since everyone enjoys it when I include pictures I will include a brief description of a few of these animals and a photo.
Aye-Aye have bate like ears and rat like teeth. They have a long bony middle finger that they use to find insects by tapping on tree bark,it listens for movement of the insects,then gnaws into the bark to find its meal.
Black lemurs live in the tropical forests of northern Madagascar. Males are black while females have reddish brown fur with a black and white face.
The Indri is the largest living lemur,it is famous for its eerie wail that sounds like the song of a humpback whale. It is endangered due to habitat loss.
