No, but many people in Madagascar believe they can. These superstitious beliefs or taboo are known as fady. Fady sometimes hurts lemurs, as in the case of the aye-aye, or it can help protect lemurs, as long as the people believe it's bad to hunt certain species or believe that a patch of forest is scared.

An aye-aye could bite you if you tried to touch or grab it. Otherwise, aye-aye do not harm people.

Many people in Madagascar believe the aye-aye is an evil spirit capable of marking people for death or killing people in their sleep by puncturing their aorta. These beliefs belong to a large collection of superstitions involving day-to-day life, and are known as fady. They are not scientifically supported.
