Aye-ayes Nify and Medea got tamarind pods today! Even though legend says their dark eyes, long fingers, and ghoulish appearance make them a spooky species, this innocent animal is anything but spooky! In fact, they use their extra long finger to find and harvest insect larvae in trees. These nocturnal animals prowl at night, tapping their finger rapidly against tree branches to listen for hollowed-out pockets in the wood that hold grubs. An aye-aye then chews an opening in the wood and claws out

It's meal time for our female aye-aye Damien! 😋 Aye-ayes are nocturnal primates native to the island of Madagascar and have some fascinating adaptations. Aye-ayes have a third "tapping" finger that they use to locate grubs in trees and an elongated fourth finger they use to get the grubs out. Here, you can see Damien using these adaptations to get food out of this puzzle feeder our keepers created by reusing a Lucky Charms box. Creating and using puzzle feeders like this encourages our animals

This is medea the aye aye showing off the aye aye's most intersting adaptation, their middle finger! Aye-ayes are referred to as “percussion foragers” because they use their middle finger to tap on wood, listening for the movement of larvae hidden inside. If they hear movement, they use their rodent-like incisors to gnaw into the bark exposing the larvae and then insert their elongated middle finger to extract the larvae. They are the only primates thought to use echolocation to find prey. | Cin

Rare aye-aye lemur seen for the first time at Bristol Zoo Gardens

Happy Halloween from this sixteen-day-old baby aye-aye at Denver Zoo! Aye ayes are just one of the many species of lemur that call the island of Madagascar home. Due to their looks, startling screams, and nocturnal behavior, the aye aye has become the center of many myths on the island, with locals upholding the belief that an encounter with this species will bring great misfortune, and possibly even death. Because of the taboo that surrounds this primate, some Malagasy will try to capture and k

In this video, you can see one of our aye-ayes using a bug block provided by our keepers. Bug blocks are wood enrichment items that our keepers fill with mealworms, wax worms, super worms, and crickets that encourage natural foraging behaviors. Aye-ayes use their specialized fingers and keen senses to tap, probe, and extract food, just like they would in the wild. Enrichment like this helps keep them mentally stimulated and physically active. 🎥: Keeper Brooke | Bronx Zoo

🌙 Meet some of the Zoo’s most mysterious residents: our two aye-ayes, Bellatrix and Tonks! Native only to Madagascar, aye-ayes are the largest nocturnal primates and some of the rarest animals you’ll ever see. With their oversized ears and a special “tapper finger,” aye-ayes can hear insects crawling under tree bark, then chew through wood with rodent-like teeth to scoop them out. Here at the Zoo, we recreate this by hiding treats in cardboard, wood, and metal boxes for them to discover. 💡 Fun
