According to the Saed News Society Service, since its landing on Mars on February 18, 2021, the rover has been traversing the planet’s Jezero Crater in search of signs of ancient life. During its journey, the robotic explorer has encountered some of the Red Planet’s most intriguing features.

Among them is a pair of rocks captured on September 8 that strikingly resemble a ripe avocado sliced in half.

In the foreground, one half of the “avocado” sits upside down, while the other half reveals a distinct cavity at its center. The rock’s uneven surface even mimics the dimpled, leathery texture of avocado skin.
