The tail is long and bushy and very thick, with long fur. Aye-ayes have a body length measuring about 40 cm, and the tail length exceeds that of the body and is between 55 and 60 cm. Unlike other lemurs, Daubentonia has claws on its hands and feet except on the great toe. It ...

Other than the primate features of stereoscopic vision and opposable thumb (along with a slightly larger brain), these and some of the following features are typical of nonprimate mammals. Most prosimians have finger and toe nails rather than claws (Ashton, 1975). However, a digit or so in...
Flying lemurs resemble large flying squirrels, as they are arboreal climbers and gliders that have webbed feet with claws. However, the form of the head and the animals’ nocturnal habit recall those of the lemurs—hence their name. The long limbs and the tail are connected by broad folds ...
