Wow, so much time and debate wasted on a simple misunderstanding of the perspective or parallax!
So let me waste a bit more. The fact that the rover moved and changed its angle of view, is more easily seen when you stitch the individual images into panoramas, which provides the context of the terrain.

yeah, you figured it all out, except the the tail.
you do see the tail, right?
Where's the tail? Can you post a picture? Or at least give directions? I see lots of rocks, but rocks don't have tails.

The five images from the Spirit Rover mission show an object that has clearly moved in the sequence. The object appears to be some kind of animal that blends in well with the surrounding rock.

Hey guys, just wanted to pop back in to say I was wrong. Totally wrong. I said the rock would rotate to the left, but it does indeed rotate behind our original rock.
Also, I should've noticed just how far the background was off between our two SOL pics.
Only took me 3 days and a few hours.
I swear I'm not stupid....
