Aye-Aye ~ Daubentonia madagascariensis![]() General Information Class: Mammalia Order: Primates Family: Daubentoniidae Genus: Daubentonia Species: D. madagascariensis Location Conservation Status ![]() Sizes
![]() In Zoos Type of Exhibit: Aye-Ayes are usually kept in a nocturnal exhibit. In the exhibit, it is light at night and dark at day, so the visitors can see nocturnal animals in their most active state. The exhibit should contain a lot of logs and ropes, because the Aye-aye is largely an arboreal animal and does not get on the ground very often. The indoor exhibit should be heated to prevent them from getting cold. Aye-Ayes are recommended for outdoor housing in areas with the same climate as Madagascar. Temperament: Aye-Ayes are generally very tolerable towards humans, however this varies from individual to individual. Diet: Wild: The Aye-Aye is an omnivorous primate, and feeds on insect larvae, interior of the ramy nut, nectar and fungi Captivity: Fruits, insects and vegetables. Social Needs: Wild: They are one of the few primates living solitary, only together when mating. Captivity: In captivity they are usually kept in seperate exhibits. Extra Information:
