Sorry.The aye-aye, Daubentonia madagascariensis is a lemur, albeit a very old and rather unusual one. It's the only surviving member of a subfamily of the Lemuridae, athough there was at least one other species (I think Daubentonia megalapis) that became extinct towards the end of the first human colonisiation on Madagascar in the late Pleistocene. In the early 80's it was considered on the brink of extinction, but since then it has been found to be more adatable to cultivated land, and much more widespread, than originally thought, living not just in the primary rainforest of the north-eastern Madagascar escarpment, but also extending into the secondary forest and date-palm plantations down the eastern coast.
Actually, I am a professional...8)
Although not usually such a smug git. I'm only leaving this here as it's about lemurs...
