Watching an Aye-Aye Hunt at Night Is Somewhat Spooky

Ойын-сауық

Aye-ayes are eerie-looking: With large, saucer eyes, a thin, sinister-looking finger, and a haunting cry, it’s no wonder that in Madagascar they are widely believed to be a harbinger of evil.

    Aaron Hanson if they were still around I probably wouldn’t be frightened by one if I saw it. I would instead be shocked by it’s large size. Since the modern day Aye ayes tend to be up to 18 inches long at their full size I believe the Giant Aye ayes were about....25 inches long!!!!!

    Analysis nests the aye-aye with Plesiadapis. Both nest with Carpolestes and Ignacius. These all nest with multituberculates, derived from several rodent clades, all within the clade Glires (gnawers), NEXT to lemurs and other primates. So the aye-aye is a primate-like rodent, as its ever-growing incisors tell you all by themselves.

    “If they want to be the party of the poor, they have to keep you poor.” That’s it. They are not concerned about the plight of black Americans living in poverty, crime, and subpar education. In fact, it is the reason why they promote policies at the local level that are designed to keep far too many black folks in dire straits. It is why they support rioting and looting in predominantly black areas. “Racism is ginned up by people who want power and who benefit by keeping Black Americans ignorant, marginalized and dependent.” The last thing BLM, The Fake News Medias, Jackson, Sharpton, Barak and the Democrat Party want are self reliant, independent, black Americans. The democrats own the education system, the media, Hollywood, Big Tech and administrative government. If there is systematic racism or oppression, it’s at the feet of democrats. Lifelong democrat politicians who never did anything to improve the lives of their constituents, only to pander with the race card every time election season rolls around should be a wake up call for all to see the true hypocrisy that exists within the democrat party.

Dear viewers: Just for the sake of clarifying some misconceptions, don’t you all agree that the absolute credit, acknowledgment & gratitude is entitled to (ALLAH) GOD Almighty. The only TRUE GOD. The creator as well as the preserver of the whole universe. Not the alleged Mother Nature! Mother Nature is his creation. And certainly not the big lie EVOLUTION. Isn’t that right? All species/wonders including human beings haven’t created themselves. GOD Almighty did. No alleged associates/partners with him. Consequently, he must be solely worshipped, feared & praised all time. I am not trying to make someone to convert, it’s up to you. It is your own choice to decide. Accept my greetings.
