A lake in the Metzabok lagoon system in the Lacandon Jungle of Chiapas is dry, with no known causes.
"Saturday night it appeared completely dry, but a week ago the community was monitoring it to take care of the species," said Armando Valenzuela, inhabitant of the area.
Some 150 residents collected fish and transferred them to other lakes, although some were used for family consumption.
Residents reported the phenomenon through photographs and videos posted on social networks.
There is nothing left in what used to be a large expanse of water and a place for tourism.
The main lake of the Tzibaná community maintains a good water level in order to continue carrying out the eco-tourism activities of which the village lives.

Del Monte is closing US production plants (in WI, MN, and IL) and moving operations further South...or indoors! Likewise, Cargill sold off all assets in Ontario.

Police in Philadelphia say they were forced to fire their guns at two dogs that viciously attacked a 57-year-old man in order to save the victim's life.
Security video from a nearby market shows a 57-year-old man running for his life early Monday morning, before he is tackled to the ground by two dogs, a bullmastiff and a pit bull.
The man was bitten several times on his arms and legs and even dragged like a rag doll.
"He has three dog bites at this time to both arms and his one leg. They say the bites to his arm are very, very severe, down to the bone. That's why officers actually applied a tourniquet because his arms were bleeding that heavily," said Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small.

On August 11, 2019, YouTube user 'Alexandru V. Diaconu' heard strange 'jet noises' in the skies of Iasi, Romania. He uploaded video footage of the event:
It's the second time today that these jet engine sounds are blasting. It is strange because the airport isn't near my location and the planes that fly here are always high enough to not make so much noise.
This time I happened to see some smoke and a new sound following the engine sounds. I am located in Iaşi, Romania and the last time I heard these jet sounds was a couple of years ago, I have a clip posted here from then [June 26, 2014] as well.
Comment: On April 20 of this year YouTuber user 'Dumitru Daniela' posted similar footage of strange noises she heard in the skies of Tulcea, Romania, about 300 km away from Iasi:
A poor calf born with two heads has been filmed lying on the ground next to its mother moments after being born.
The deformed cow, born at the Los Chimagons Farm near the town of Hilario Ascasubi in the eastern Argentine province of Buenos Aires, is able to move both its heads and can breathe through them as well in the clip.
But tragically, the creature died just 12 hours after birth.
Fernando Dumrauf, the farmer who discovered the animal, said its mum was unable to breastfeed it because "half of the body answered to one head while the other half responded to the other".
A waterspout spun across Lake Huron on the morning of August 23, amid several local news reports warning of possible waterspout and cold air tunnels in Michigan's Thumb.
According to the National Weather Service, late summer into early fall is the time to expect waterspouts over the Great Lakes.
Brian Thompson was able to capture footage of one without even leaving home. He told Storyful he "never expected to see one outside my living room."
Thompson's footage shows the rope-like spout moving across the water and eventually onto land.
