Mythical elf photographed in Mexico

Mexico's president claims he has proof that a mythical woodland elf exists.

President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador posted a photo on his social media accounts that he says shows an "alux" from ancient folklore.

The grainy image appears to have been taken at night and shows an indistinct creature in a tree staring at the camera.

The politician suggested that the creature resembled a sculpture from an archaeological site on the Yucatan peninsula and revealed that it had been taken recently on the site of a new railway line known as the Tren Maya, which will connect ancient Mayan sites.
