I found this money a few years back and never could find the original NASA source until today. The original does have the monkey. Some people have said it looks real, but someone could have tampered with the gigipan photo, but since I found the original and the monkey is in it...this is 100% proof that the photo has not been tampered with. But now we have other problems. Is the rover on Devon Island in Canada? Are there monkeys on Devon island? Maybe, but not sure. Maybe NASA brought the monkey to experiment on it in the Martian environment. Maybe it could be a form of animal life on Mars. Who knows? The only way to find out, is for the public go there.
