Can camels and gorillas peacefully co-exist? It looks like it on Mars

Has the Mars Rover Curiosity captured a gorilla and tiny camel co-existing on the red planet?

That’s the question being asked by space watchers after an image surfaced from Mars appearing to show just that.

Having said that, it could actually be a normal-sized camel and a massive gorilla.

Or alternatively, and this theory’s been around since 2012, there’s a huge bear. What’s new about the picture is that nobody had noticed the camel-like figure before. Until now.

Mister Enigma, of YouTube fame, has analysed the Nasa image and he thinks it’s a parent and child.

He created the video above that includes this still to demonstrate his theory:

Bear or gorilla

He said: ‘This picture taken by the Mars Rover Curiosity may be the most compelling when it comes to life on Mars for a lost civilisation.

‘If we add a little colour to the photo, the features stand out a lot more. When we zoom in we can see what looks like a gorilla or bear-type creature or maybe even a statue of a creature.

‘But what is even more odd is that right next to it on the left we see what looks like a smaller creature like a baby or cub.’

Nasa hasn’t commented on the picture, but we’re fairly sure it’s just rocks.
