Question

With a population of fewer than 10,000

individuals remaining, the aye-aye is
considered an endangered species. In fact,
aye-ayes were thought to be completely
extinct in 1933, but they were rediscovered 15
years later. Habitat loss due to farming is one
reason behind why there are fewer and fewer
aye-ayes in existence. Another explanation is

believe that the aye-aye is a sign of bad luck
and the only way to prevent misfortune is
killing the animal on sight
