HAHA!
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. It is the world's largest nocturnal primate, and is characterized by its unusual method of finding food; it taps on trees to find grubs, then gnaws holes in the wood and inserts its elongated middle finger to pull the grubs out.
Many Malagasy natives think they are devil-creatures, and beat them to death on sight.

Two nights ago I was camping, and I had some Jealousy-influenced dream about smashing giant centipedes. An hour after waking up, I ran into one of these guys, the Giant Desert Centipede aka the Giant Sonoran Centipede. It was at least 6" (15 cm) long.

Rhinoceros beetles are also one of the strongest animals on the planet in relation to their own size. They can also survive Nuclear warfare.

The researchers suspect many individual sloths visited the latrines: on one occasion a mother and baby visited.

I totally feel this post. These are nasty, horrible things only made worse by the fact that if you catch them running across a sidewalk, you might well mistake them for a kitty cat. (Though if you get rabies, you're still kind of a moron -- you shouldn't be approaching feral kitty cats, either.)

The opossum is the one animal that I was familiar with in the south that I was surprised to see in the north. There's no armadillos up here, no marauding raccoons, certainly no deer. But there's still opossums.
