Features of a majestic terrestrial animal are bearing their face on the surface of Mars.
Researchers with the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona made the observation.
It may look like a drawing that made by a grade-school student but it bears a striking resemblance to a bear. There are two eyes and a V-shaped structure for the nose, and those facial features have been encircled.
“The circular fracture pattern might be due to the settling of a deposit over a buried impact crater,” according to the university’s article A Bear on Mars?. “Maybe the nose is a volcanic or mud vent and the deposit could be lava or mud flows?”
