=== Legends about Lake Ravelobe ===
Ravelobe was a Malagasy patriot who participated in World War II. Back home, he asked the French colonists to administrate the cantonment of Ambatoboeny, but his request was denied. He then formed a group of rebels in the ''garafantsy'' ("hill of thorns" - Ankarafantsika area). From thereon, Ravelobe and his followers robbed travellers and bypassers in the area.
Until today the lake is sacred and pork is not allowed in the area, as the Marambitsy were Muslims.<br><br>
