#throwbackthursday This aye-aye was shot by a local village in Madagascar. Aye-ayes are seen as bad omens and signs of appending death. They are killed to “protect” the village. After surgery to remove the two projectiles near her spine, this aye-aye made a full recovery! This incident stresses the importance of our education efforts in local villages to show the unique beauty of this highly endangered lemur, before they are all gone.
