Is that a rat... on Mars?!

Yes, according to a theory from one determined man in Japan who recently (http://www.yukawanet.com/archives/4409876.html) scoured dozens of NASA photos taken by the space agency's Mars Curiosity rover. A post on UFO Sightings Daily (http://www.ufosightingsdaily.com/) shows the "Mars rat (http://www.foxnews.com/science/2013/05/29/mars-rat-spied-by-nasa-curiosity-rover/)," which appears to be a creature with legs and a tail among rocks on the planet.

As the blog notes, the figure "seems to resemble a rodent but also may be a lizard (http://www.ufosightingsdaily.com/2013/05/alien-creature-caught-in-nasa-photo-by.html)."

The alleged Mars rat should not be confused with a similar sighting first pointed out in December: An image taken by the Curiosity rover at the "Rocknest" site (http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/msl/multimedia/pia16204.html) in September shows a rodent-like figure that most closely resembles a squirrel. However, as UFO Sightings Daily notes, that observation may have been staged by NASA as part of an experiment (http://www.ufosightingsdaily.com/2012/12/nasa-almost-makes-historical.html).

It does seem slightly raised off the ground but if you compare it to the rock above left it seems consistent with the topography of the surface. It's just a coincidence I'd say but cool if it was actually a creature.

It's a very odd shape indeed.

Imagine when they find a Mars sheep.

The entire Welsh population of the male persuasion would immediately sign up for a mission to Mars.
