Creepin' it real with Aloka on this frightful Halloween-eve. Today aye-ayes are protected by law in Madagascar, but many people native to the island consider these unusual lemurs to be omens of bad luck and will often kill them on sight. This, along with habitat destruction, has put the aye-aye on the endangered list. Aloka was born on July 7 and is the second aye-aye born at our facility.
