Can you spot the squirrel in this picture? Nothing special about that, except this particular photo was taken by NASA...on Mars!

This close up shot was taken by the Curiosity Rover on the surface of Mars and is posted on the NASA website. The ‘squirrel’ was spotted by some folks who have a lot of time on their hands to examine literally, every grain of sand in photos released by NASA.

Now, it’s possible that this is just one of those ‘coincidentally looks like something familiar’ pictures Mars is famous for. It also could be evidence that there is life on Mars, or ‘Mars’ is really a set out in the desert, or there are lots of rocks there that look like faces, statues and squirrels. Squirrely? What are your thoughts?
