  it probably just a coincidence that it was a rock it is not a mouse as mars has no air or water like bro how can a MOUSE survive on such planet. and not even food is there. -_- so ye...

• That’s wied

• 
• PuppyDoge

  It would be cool to find mice living on Mars, but, wouldn't it be cool to find ANYTHING on Mars? A mouse rock would also be cool, but which one's cooler?

  It is so cool that a mouse or mice might be living in the harsh enviroments of mars the red planet.It could be a rock but it would be pretty unusual for a mouse shaped rock on mars.

• 
• amazing!

• yasmine

  a mouse on mars!? wow i think that mouse is elusion cant it be?

  An animal needs food, and I doubt a mouse could be finding any carrots on mars. But, hey, there could be micro-organisms or even bugs!

• Holly

  Hello my name is holly and me and my group have been reading your article. We liked it! It was interesting. Bye and thank you Holly

• 
• Finlay.B

  you would expect it to be an alien but a mouse that's crazy. maybe there is life on mars?

• Potato

  If there are aliens maybe we could be friends with them?

• QUE

  I hope there is life on mars

• 
• Lion boy

  It is amazing

• 
• kyce

• haylee mansson

  BUT... no life on mars???

• Jemma

• toby

  awesome!!it would be cool if it was a real mouse

• emma

  It would be really cool if Mars could sustain life and someday we could go there for a holiday!

• 
• Will

  I hope they find more

• Griff

  So cool, I wonder whether it is a mouse or rock?

• 
• so cool.if you found a mouse shaped rock... mind blown.

• Sadhu Suarda

  Oh wow, i think its just another creature, not a mice really, but a undiscovered species.

• 
• Alien mouse XL

  How is that even possible but I still think that it might be true

• 
• Toby

  That was crazy and my mum was amazed and it is very hard to amaze her.

• 
• Lovebear5000

  Wow that is amazing I never thought there could be life on mars!

• Sam

  Not mouse

• Simone

  A mouse

• That's so weird. Hmm.........I wonder if that's actually a mouse. I mean NASA has already said that there is a possibility of life being on Mars.

• Larana

  Cool

• szymon

  just a rock!

• 
• Minh Chau

  i think it is a alien mouse

• mouse rock

  It might be a mouse.But I think it is a rock it might be a computer error.

• 
• P

• bobo

• 
• Hugh

• Anonymous

• APRICOT JUPITER 7

  I wonder if there really is a mouse on mars.

• 
• Maeve

  I thought mars was super hot

• 
• Mullai

  Exciting

• Samlalldalf

  It is probably a rock, with the tail being formed out of some sand. the life of a rodent on mars is highly unlikely, due to a mouses inability to fly to mars or transport there in any way. Humans cannot live on Mars because neither the temperature nor the atmosphere is compatible with human survival. There is also no edible food and very little available water. Mice are smaller than humans, less smart than humans, and they also have less body fat to keep them warm. It is interesting that we found it

• Megan44

  Cool! I hope it is a mouse because that will mean there is life on Mars!

• LovelyRabbit07

  OMG its so cute and how is it on mars!

  I think its a rock because IF its a mouse, how come weve never seen it before on a camera? Or where would the mouse get its food from? Sorry to sound so.... flat. Or glass-half-empty. :)

• Moo

• darcy

  I THINK YOUR RIGHT BECAUSE THE ANIMAL IN THE PICTURE IS SHAPED LIKE A MOUSE AND BECAUSE SCIENTISTS HAVE SAID THERE MIGHT BE LIFE ON MARS.

• sdfhk

  its got to be a rock

• Rey

  I think it could be a Mars mouse because anything can happen in this crazy universe that so many strange creatures live in. If there can be flying squirrels than there could be Mars mice as well

• Pheobe

  I was reading some comments later today and found out that some people are saying its a rock and others are saying its totally a mouse because it looks like it has ears and a tail so i dont really no what to say. In my head im thinking how could suddenly a mouse appear on mars and if it did then wouldnt it be on the news because its not so im guessing probbly just a rock or maybe well also looks a bit photo shopped as well so good on ya national geographic .

• Hania

• AAS_BSV_5B_Miss_Romano

  I am not sure about if it a mouse or a rock but I think is a giagiant mouse because it look like it have a head, a nose and a tale. Maby is a giagiant mouse because maby in Venus there are enormes ants and tiny elephants.

• 5B Daniela -

• 5B Daniela -

  I think it is a mouse

• asieourk

  sorry but that is NOT a mouse.... neither is it anything living.... its a rock.

• PabloFe

  I think is not true because any human or animal can live in the space.

• BOBBYMLG

  I HATE THIS WEBSITE...THAT IS SOOO FAKE

• tigersrule

  it could be a mouse because it is a different color from all the other rocks and it looks like it has ears and a small tail. :)

• XxKovuLionxX

• Gracetiger8

  I think it looks different from the other rocks but Im not sure if its a mouse!

• Jai Taylor Prince

  I think the mouse is a shadow from the star called doojshxhhsh.

• 3B

  We think its a ninja mouse from the distant galaxy of redtarghurypdulbah 18. Hes obviously there to scout for Intergalactic Pig People from the Ghadtulgarskif region that orbits Saturn. Furthermore we believe that the Mouse youve discovered is potentially very dangerous and we should immediately destroy Mars with our lasers. Its for the benefit of mankind and to secure our future. Regards, 3B

• mr_moomoo
