ARKive

http://www.arkive.org/

This is a brilliant digital library of all the animals in the world. With pictures, films and all the information you will ever need.
Here is a nice animal called an Aye-Aye

I saw a documentary with Miranda Richardson wearing a pink cowboy hat in Madagascar trying to find these little beasties in the jungle. Apparently they are the creatures that inspired J R R Tolkein's Gollum... They are such an amalgamation of other animals - bat ears, woodpecker like middle fingers (sometimes growing 3x as long as the other fingers) and monkeyish qualities. BIZZARO. Villagers believe them to be omen's of death.
