Aye-Ayes are an endangered species.
Aye-Ayes can be found only on the island of Madagascar. They are under threat because of deforestation, poaching and persecution. Natives of Madagascar believe they are harbingers of bad luck and if an aye-aye points it's long skinny finger at someone, they are marked for death. Others believe that they can creep into homes and use their tapping finger to pluck out the hearts of humans, therefor when they are seen they are killed on sight.
