You raise a very good point there. That's one thing I've never considered.
And in response to Mark..

How do you define 'real' when we are supposedly dealing with something that has been physically and scientifically unproven.
We all seem to define our inner-mind images of 'alien' lifeforms based on fictional depictions. The classic 'Grey'.
Personally, I think the creator of the PC game 'Spore' would be on a partially right track with regards to alternate sentient life forms.
If other sentient life exists in the near or far reaches of space, one could only guess as to their physical make-up.
