The Aye-aye already has been considered a weird animal a few times here (and there), but I've never seen this extraordinary fellow this close!
And until now I never realized that this ant eating mammal is so small. Thanks to Connie Jean we can see that he/she even fits in one human hand!



The envelope shows great rubber stamp prints. Among the famous Bunny and a glimpse of a Fish, also Alligators and a cool Armadillo.



More mail art by Connie Jean you can find on Mullet Mail.



Thank you very much, Connie!

The Aye-Aye is a fascinating mammal (as is mankind)!
In Dutch we call this animal 'Vingerdier', 'Finger animal', because of his long middle finger.
This time the Aye-Aye appeared on an envelope, created and sent by Anna Banana from Canada, as a thank you for colour test prints I had sent to Anna.



And in the envelope more great surprises: beautiful artistamps, a printed card, and a recent issue of the Zine 'Bananarag'.




Thank you very much, Anna!

Carolyn Oord

What a big surprise! After having sent the very first contribution to the 'Solitude' mail art project, Carolyn Oord continued to make me happy by sending these eight weird mammals from Canada. Or even more animals (do I see moose or reindeer calves on the stamp? And a walking fish rubber stamp print!)!



Click on the image to enlarge. From left to right, you can see the Manatee, the Giant Anteater, the Tarsier, the Galago, the Kinkajou, the Aye-aye, the Bandicoot, and even predecessors of our present horse.

Thank you very much, Carolyn!

Jos from Belgium sent me the Aye-aye, a weird animal I didn't know before I started this blog.
In Dutch we call this lemur 'vingerdier', which means 'finger animal'.
Wikipedia says about this animal: "The Aye-aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis) is a lemur, a strepsirrhine primate native to Madagascar that combines rodent-like teeth with a long, thin middle finger to fill the same ecological niche as a woodpecker."
Weird, isn't it? (and a mouthful of words!)



On the envelope a close-up of this frightning looking creature!..
Though I think we humans don't have to be afraid of the aye-aye, as he/she only eats insect grubs, nuts and nectar.



Thank you, Jos, dankjewel voor dit bijzondere dier!
