MindaNews fact-checked a post on Facebook that a giant axolotl was spotted and captured in Barangay Gusa, Cagayan de Oro City. The claim is fake.
The post reads “NAKUHA KINING HAPON SA DUHA KA MANANAGAT DIDTO SA GUSA CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, WLA TA KABALO UG USA BANI KA SIGN NGA NAAY BAGYO MAHITABO OR NAA BAI DELIKADO MAHITABOThis afternoon in Gusa, Cagayan de Oro, two fishermen caught this creature. It could be a sign of approaching storms or another disaster. Let’s pray that nothing happens.”)
Henry A. Adornado, director of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources – Region 10, confirmed that there was no axolotl caught in the region. In a phone interview August 2, UPMin wildlife biologist Prof. Lief Erikson Gamalo said there was no scientific evidence of the sighting.
