Who wants to save an ugly animal? 1 Attachment(s) Because I know YTers are a compassionate bunch... ============================================= You've probably never seen an aye-aye. And you may never want to see one. It's a bizarre, ugly-looking creature?sort of a cross between a wolverine, a koala, and a raccoon with big ears; yellowish, gremlinlike eyes; and a giant bushy tail. Conservation biologists say this one-of-a-kind critter from Madagascar?which uses razor-sharp incisor teeth to tear off sections of tree bark, and a long, narrow middle finger to scoop out the insects inside?represents millions of years of independent evolution and is now verging on extinction. Yes, we're talking about something grotesque here, so grotesque, in fact, that locals consider it to be an evil omen and kill the animal on sight. But losing it would mean the collapse of an entire branch of the mammalian evolutionary tree. Unless the conservationists can persuade us to help protect an ugly and uncharismatic animal, all this genetic history will be gone forever. How do you get people to care about an aye-aye?

Good lord that thing is hideous! :eek: I'm all for saving endangered species and all, but I don't think I could look at that thing everyday. :tongue4: |
I think it is cute! What can we to do to save it? I love bats anyway and it looks like a bat just with bigger green eyes hehe. |
As freaky looking at that little guy is, he still deserves to live. |

He's so ugly he's cute. I'm always rooting for the underdog so I say" Let's save the little guy"! - Besides, what has he done to deserve being killed off the face of the earth? Hello - One of God's Creatures - He has a right to be here. OK, I'm done now and climbing down off my soapbox :D . |
wow, that is so ugly that he crosses into being cute!!! |

That's hilarious. The thing is so ugly it's killed on sight? With what, their shoes? |
aww, those are cute little animals. That is just a really really bad picture of one. http://www.thewildones.org/Animals/ayeAyeNH.html they really aren't that bad. Plus they are really cool cause they have this really long finger that is used to get into rotting wood and holes in branches to pull out tasty little morsels. |
AWWWWWWW. I think it's cute!!!!! (yes yes yes...I know I have problems. sue me). awwww. regardless of how ugly you all think it is...he still has a right to be here. |

Yes I Did! Here's the proof! |
Oh really it is ugly. Seems so mismatched like someone cooked up the poor thing in a genetic lab huh... But I'm sure it has in purpose in nature and should be saved... Just my opinion. There are creatures though that should disappear off Earth -mosquitos. edited: Dan & Corinne, I was NOT talking about your baby. That's too funny!! |
