Overseer of small mammals at Bristol Zoo Gardens Caroline Brown holds a young aye aye named "Raz", (Daubentonia madagascariensis) at the Bristol Zoo in Bristol, England on Wednesday. The aye aye is only the second of his species to be born in Britain. The rare species of lemur, hunted to near-extinction and seen as a bad omen in its native Madagascar, has been born at the Zoo.
