Gather ’round, me hearties, and take a gander at the perfect creature for Talk Like a Pirate Day: the Aye-aye! Not only does this scrawny lemur sail under a name that be pleasing to every captain’s ear, but he forages for buried treasure within the trees, by tapping the trunks to find the juicy grubs what lies within.

I simply ADORE aye-ayes and in fact have a stuffed animal version! John Cleese says they look like a cat that’s been put in the microwave.

He’s cute – in a Tim Burton kind of way.
I came to say he looks as if he could be a charrracter in one of them tharrr movin picture shows.
Maybe some lucky pirate’s matey.

Astonishingly cute
And like all prosimians from Madagascar, absolutely fascinating from a scientific standpoint.
After a Captain Jack Sparrow marathon weekend, he’s just perfect!
So ugly they’re cute.
Repost him at Halloween, please.
Somehow, I think he’ll fit well.
Good idea! Either this picture, or I’ll find more. They look like little goblins!

Loving all the pirate themed pix and comments today but just too tired to do talk like a pirate today.

But here is my contribution for the day from Muppet Treasure Island – Welcome to Rat Tours, we put the RAT in pi-RATe.
