Aye-Aye: a rare nocturnal Madagascan primate related to the lemurs. It has incisor teeth like those of a rodent and an elongated finger on each hand with which it pries insects from bark.
 
Little does anyone know, but back in the day (before Star Trek), Aunt Marg, was captain of the Starship Enterprise, and everyone's favourite saying on the ship was, "aye-aye, cap'n"! :)
 
I can't count the number of times I was awoken in the wee hours of the morning with a hand gently prodding and shaking me... "mommy, mommy", and when I'd awake, all I could see was a hand on me, like an Aye-Aye hand, but as soon as I'd come to, I would recognize the hand as being the hand of one of my kids who was needing me.
