This unique behavior allows the Aye-Aye to locate and extract insects from tree branches and trunks. By tapping and listening for hollow sounds, it can identify the presence of insect larvae. It then uses its elongated middle finger to extract the insects by gnawing through the wood. This specialized feeding technique showcases the Aye-Aye's adaptability and resourcefulness in obtaining its food.

This loss of habitat disrupts the Aye-Aye's ability to find food and shelter, leading to a decline in their population. Deforestation also contributes to the fragmentation of their habitat, making it difficult for them to move freely and find suitable mates. Overall, deforestation poses a significant threat to the survival of the Aye-Aye species.
