Aye-ayes are considered bad luck in some places. They are often killed on sight, which is a big reason of their being endangered.

There have been 28 aye-aye births at the Duke Lemur Center from 1992 to 2012.
Reproducing and Mating
What type of consumer is an aye-aye?
Adaptations

- don't have a particular mating season
- females can reproduce and mate until they die
- they produce one baby at a time
Immigration and Emigration
Aye-ayes have adapted. They used their long middle finger to find food. They tap tree trunks to listen for sounds hinting if food is in there.
Aye-ayes are omnivores.
Immigration could happen because ...
- people could take away their homes
- people cut down trees to make room for development
They eat nectar, fruit, seeds, fungi, and insect larvae.
