This video says the picture was taken in August of this year, and purports to show a strange, four legged “beast” in a photo taken by an unnamed Mars rover.

Looking around the web, though it’s easy to spot dozens of news articles about the other strange photos sent back by mars rovers, I could only find one mention of this particular photograph.

In a YouTube video, posted three months ago (i.e., in August), the picture is marked as having been taken by the rover known as Opportunity.
