Default Mars bunny at the Spirit Gusev site

Did you notice there was a Mars bunny at the Spirit Gusev site as
well. See ..

This bunny was much further away from the lander than the one at the
Opportunity Terra Meridiani site. Its like a ghost that doesn't leave
footprints.

Maybe instead of assuming right off that it is a bunny, I think it
would be more scientific instead to refer to it as "lagomorphus
Spiritus", one of the order lagomorpha from the Greek "lagos"=hare; +
Greek "morph"=shape.

See the Spirit Navigation Camera images for Sol 045, especially

Did you notice that NASA published a great press release on the
original Mars bunny?

I still think that the Rover rolled over the first bunny despite their
denials and cover up. That thing under the lander doesn't look at all
like our bunny -- unless he is there hiding and quivering in fear.
The whole issue very strange.
