Here is a portrait of an aye-aye, a rather disreputable prosimian that lives in Madagascar. It was drawn by Terri Nelson for Susan McCarthy’s new blog, Nature of the Beast.
Susan is a journalist and an author, specializing in two areas: wildlife and animal behavior; and humor. She is the co-author, with Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, of When Elephants Weep: The Emotional Lives of Animals, and the author of Becoming A Tiger: How Baby Animals Learn to Live in the Wild. Terri Nelson has opposable thumbs and uses them quite frequently in order to draw.
