These amazing images published by NASA appear to show the fossilised remains of a creature on Mars, it's claimed.

They have sparked debate among UFO spotters though, as to exactly what was caught on camera.

To some the photos show the remains of a sloth or grizzly bear-like creature crouching near a rock.

They were released by the American space agency and have been enhanced with photo-editing and lighting effects to highlight the "creature".

According to leading voice Scott C Waring the Mars images are "interesting and unusual".

Mr Waring who runs his website UFO Sightings Daily told the Daily Star: "It resembles a fossilised animal or a statue, but it’s difficult to tell without being able to examine it close-up.

“The dark patch is the curly hair coat and its face area has significantly less hair.

"Its two front teeth are extremely white, unlike any other colour on the creature.

“I have to say it’s a fossil because of its hair and teeth.”

But the team behind Paranormal Crucible who enhanced the images said they are not entirely convinced they show an animal.

They said: "Interesting object found on the Martian surface, this time a possible statue or fossilised creature.

"Even without processing the image you can clearly see that it looks artificial.

"Resembles a bear or sloth-like creature to me, possibly with a shell, but to be honest it could be anything."
