I've been seeing a lot of these shots from the Curiosity across the internet but when I seen this one I knew I had to post it. (might have been posted on the old TOT) This sure looks like a 'Damn Rat' to me! I know it's probably not a rat but boy can nature look strange.

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity will apparently perform no follow-up studies of a Red Planet rock that resembles a rodent, dealing a blow to the nascent field of Martian mammalogy.

The so-called "Mars rat" has generated a lot of Internet interest lately, with some UFO buffs claiming that it may be an indigenous Red Planet life form or an Earth rodent Curiosity carried to Mars as part of a secret experiment.
