Take a pencil or small iron bar to a sand pit, throw it a few times and take note of the impressions it leaves. unless you throw it hard and high up it will never stick 4rse up. skim it acoss the ground and you might get the 'footprint' type marks as it bounces but it will not come to rest in a vertical position.

It appears to be an upright being walking across a sandy Mars surface. The long shadow shows the height of the creature, while the head and shoulders are clearly visible. If this were indeed a rock rolling across the sand, it would leave a straight line of imprints, not a zig-zag pattern. The height of the "rock" from its long shadow would indicate that it would leave long flat imprints, not footstep sized prints.

hmmm by gosh this could be footstep's.
but by what.
The reason that they move
along the 10,000 year old dried up clay lake bed is still somewhat of a mystery
