NASA Scientists have spotted a crocodile-like creature on Mars, hinting towards another sign of life on the red planet.
Spotted on the Mars Curiosity Rover, astronomer Joe White, 45, had noticed a lump of rock in the footage, which looked like a snout of a crocodile, the Daily Star reported.
The space video journalist from Bristol said that the object's contours were similar to that of crocodile on earth, and since it was stiff, it was either fossilised or frozen, which could once again indicate there has been life on Mars.
The image was shot from the six-foot-high right hand side mast cam on the Curiosity Rover earlier this year, however, NASA hasn't released any official statement about the martian reptile.
