Last week, we published a post about UFO Sightings Daily which showed the “Mars rat,” a creature with legs and a tail among rocks on the planet.

A man in Japan who recently scoured dozens of NASA photos taken by the space agency’s Mars Curiosity rover blogged that the figure “seems to resemble a rodent but also may be a lizard.”

Well mystery solved and we can confirm it is a rat, well… because it has a twitter account and over a thousand followers.

Mars Rat who tweets from the handle; @RealMarsRat has had a lot to say since it became famous.

 

 

 

Back to reality, NASA’s Mars Rover Curiosity picked up the unusually shaped rock on its radar last year but when photos were leaked, it took the internet by storm because the rock appears to look like a rat on the red planet.

According to Techyville, some people believe that there is really a rodent crawling around on Mars, but this shows us a great example of pareidolia.

Pareidolia is the ability of the human mind to perceive inanimate objects to be animals or even humans. Pareidolia was blamed for the sighting of a ‘humanoid’ face on one of the rocks on Mars in 1976. Just this March, UFO Sightings Daily reported yet another rodent-like rock as well.
