UFO bloggers claim a lizard has been 'spotted' on the surface of Mars.
The reptile was first noticed by a spotter in Japan who alerted the UFO Sightings Daily website with one science blogger claiming NASA could be planting animals on the red planet.
It appears in photos from the Curiosity Rover released by the US space agency in March.
‘This odd creature was discovered on Mars by a person in Japan in March,’ the UFO website’s operator Scott C Waring posts.
He adds: ‘With water existing on Mars in small amounts, its possible to find such desert animals wandering around…although very rare mind you.
‘Then again, is NASA placing animals from tiny cyogenic chambers inside the rover onto the surface of Mars to conduct tests?’
Mr Waring invited readers to post comments voicing their opinion on the theory.
