A 'cute rodent' has reportedly been found on Mars

A "cute rodent" has reportedly been found on Mars.

A NASA photograph taken of the planet, which has since been obtained by the Express Online, has set tongues wagging that life exists in outer space as it appears to capture a squirrel-like animal crawling between two boulders.

Alongside the image, the UFO Sightings Daily website wrote: "It is really amazing and strange. I guess that's why I love this one so much. It's a cute rodent on Mars."
