Mexico's Andrés Manuel López Obrador tweeted a photo purportedly taken last week by an engineer working on the Maya Train railway that will be around 1,000 miles long when completed.
The Mexican president claims that the figure crouched in a tree with glowing eyes is "Aluxe" a mystical woodland spirit.
Many Mexican news outlets report that the image shared by the president is extremely similar to other images shared on social media.

The way this creature is perched in the tree suggests that it is not a ghost or a spirit.
Perhaps another unexplained cryptid, maybe a Central American version of Sasquatch
