Bizarre aye-aye primates take nose picking to the extreme
======================================================================================================================================
Aye-ayes aren’t the most photogenic creatures under the best of circumstances. But caught in the dead of night, hunched over with several centimeters of finger stuck up its nose, this bizarre primate looks positively haunting.
A new video offers the first evidence that these nocturnal lemurs of Madagascar stick their fingers up their noses and lick off the mucus.
Aye-ayes are now the 12th known species of primate, including humans, to pick their noses and snack on the snot, the researchers found.
