Claim: Jatayu, a mythical bird from Ramayana, is found alive for first time in Kaliyug in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh.
Fact-check: This is not the first time a Himalayan Griffon Vulture was seen alive - FACTLY
Verdict: as per the media reports, himalayan griffon vulture was rescued in kanpur and locals handed it over to the forest department on 09 january 2023. previously, there were several instances where these vultures were spotted and rescued by the public. moreover, in 2016, the vulture-breeding centre at pinjore, haryana released a pair of these vultures to the wild for the first time after fostering them for 10 years. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
