A Beautifully Camouflaged Martian Squirrel
On September 28, 2012, Curiosity photographed a cluster of dark rocks called Rocknest. It didn’t take long for eagle-eyed UFOlogist Scott C. Waring to identify an apparent squirrel in the picture, saying it’s “a cute rodent on Mars,” with its “lighter color upper and lower eyelids, its nose and cheek areas, its ear, its front leg and stomach” are clearly visible. Panning back, however, it’s clear that the alleged squirrel is a tiny rock among many others like it.
