The aye-aye is so feared by the Malagasy (the people of Madagascar) that in much of the country it is killed on sight. The aye-aye was once thought to be extinct, but recent discoveries suggest there may be 100 or more aye-ayes alive in the wild.

Aye-ayes are endangered because of habitat destruction and because the Malagasy people will often kill them on sight. Many Malagasy believe that Aye-aye's bring bad luck or even death.

The aye-ayes are both killed by some Malagasy people, who believe them to be a bad omen or a sign of death, and are suffering from habitat loss.

Aye-Ayes are endangered for multiple reasons. Their habitat is being destroyed, and many native people kill then on sight, believing the creatures to be omens of bad luck.
