Weird Alien Figure in Science Journal

I had to laugh at seeing this image in a journal article today.  It looked like an alien!!  But, it really is an image of a rat after dosing it with a radiolabelled compound.  The dark spots show that after the compound was administered orally (head at the bottom), it localizes to the kidneys (the dark eyes in the alien face).
