Rodent was found on Mars? [View all]

I posted this in the General forum, but it got deleted, saying it was "CT" type stuff. However, technically this is news, mainly because the pic is a 100% real NASA photo on Mars. Whether it is a rodent or rock is the question. To me, the tail clearly proves it's no rock.

Anyway, remember around December when a scientist at NASA said they had a major discovery on Mars and an announcement planned, only to backtrack? Well, apparently, this was it.
