   Abstract:
   Summarizes the morphology, natural history, captive history and captive management of the species. Since 1987 the aye-aye has been kept at Duke University Primate Center; the first birth there from a captive mating occurred in 1992. The original 2.2 animals were maintained on local photoperiod but, in 1992, with the arrival of 1.3 wild-caught aye-aye and because there had been no successful breeding to date, a Madagascar photoperiod was instituted. Between 1992 and 1994 five young, of which four were reared, were born at the Center. -from Authors
