Claim: Ananathapura lake temple releases a circular quashing the rumours circulating regarding the death of the temple's crocodile 'Babiya.'
Fact-check: Crocodile Babiya did die recently; This clarification message from Ananathapura lake temple is from 2019 - FACTLY
Verdict: the ananathapura lake temple's notice is real, but it was released in 2019 when fake rumours were spread about the death of 'babiya', the temple's crocodile. however, babiya lost its life at the age of 75 on 09 october 2022. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
