NASA Rover Spotted a Strange Creature on Mars

NASA recently uploaded this image to the internet, and as you can see from the beginning, it went viral practically overnight.
The image itself shows what appears to be a very large animal with four legs. The internet referred to this as a giant black bear or some kind of wolf with pure black fur.
However, the fact that it resembles a creature from Earth may suggest the fact that this four-legged animal had an evolutionary pattern similar to those on Earth, which would prove the existence of intelligent life on Mars.
For the most part, the image is pretty clear, as you can easily spot the creature’s outlines and even its shadow, showing the fact that it’s not just a shadow itself.
However, the animal is definitely a new specimen, as we don’t usually find four-legged creatures on Mars, let alone ones that shade this dark.
Many skeptics online have tried to argue that this is just another case of the pareidolia effect, though this is highly debatable, to say the least, as the creature clearly has a set outline, casts a shadow, and what’s more Importantly, it resembles a creature we already know from our own planet.
All of this basically rules out the possibility that we are confusing things with what they are not. What would this creature be called in the first place?
