Episode 251: Eyeing the Aye Aye

Episode 251: Eyeing the Aye Aye

The Aye Aye is one of the world's most misunderstood and endangered primates. Native to Madagascar, Aye Ayes have been targeted and killed by locals due to superstitions. Coupled with massive loss of habitat and other pressures, this species is on a beeline towards extinction. The Aye Aye is also one of the world's most unique primates and has radical physiology compared to other primates. Sadly, Madagascar has had a horrific year with not only the covid pandemic, but is experiencing one of the worst famines in their modern times. Thankfully, conservationists from around the globe and within Madagascar are responding in a fight to save species like the Aye Aye. This unique animal has so much to teach us and deserves our attention and help. For one cup of "good" coffee a month you can support your favorite podcast on Patreon and give back to conservation.
