Ms. Cathy Williams – person in charge of DLC shared with SWNS news agency: “These monkeys are not aggressive at all, they are very curious, active and intelligent. They learn and imitate very quickly”.

Melisandre will stay with her mother Ardrey the monkey for about 2 to 3 years until the baby monkey can learn how to take care of itself such as finding food, building a nest and other survival skills.

According to DLC, aye-ayes monkeys have strange feeding habits and are considered by many to be “the world’s strangest primate”. Their main food mainly includes Ramy nuts, nectar from palm trees, fungi and insects.

“They also raided coconut plantations, eating lychees and mangoes among other crops,” DLC news agency said.

For the indigenous people of Madagascar, the Aye-aye monkey is considered a symbol of death and is even considered a bad omen. According to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), they were thought to be extinct but were rediscovered in 1961.

In 2018, an aye-aye monkey named Tonks was born at the Denver Zoo.
