The primate rose to fame in the Madagascar movies in which they were portrayed as cute, loving, and furry creatures. Although, in reality it is quite the opposite.

The legends and folklore will be made up about this “evil” animal and passed on to other tribes and then passed down from generation to generation so that they will fear the olona bera kiosa and not the Aye-Aye
