Aye-Aye, Captain: Prepare to blow chow!

Man, it seems like there's slide-shows of disgusting animals everywhere...and yes, I know that animals CAN'T actually be disgusting. It's only our immature attitudes about them that might make them seem revolting. Take the Aye-Aye, for example...
As we can see, the Aye-Aye is easy on the eyes. And the Almiqui (below) is not that unattractive. But I admit that the fact that it's the only mammal that has poisonous spit doesn't make it seem lovable!
And of course, no discussion of gross animals is complete without a portrait of the most unfairly criticized animal of all: the naked mole rat. I think that they're actually sort of cuddly and cute, in an ugly way.
Wait, I just threw up on my keyboard. What was I saying?
