So its a little after 8 am here and I am on the way to work. Swung by a gas station store to pick up an almond pack (I don't eat breakfast so if I have a long meeting early morning, I like to carry a snack).
Entered the aisle and saw a garishly dressed creature with disgusting bright lipstick trying to grab 3-4 packs of an orange/red colored thing. It started juggling the packs in its paws so they didn't fall down, and then it walked away to where the pop was. As I fancy myself as an amateur zoologist, it was quite a thrill to see this creature in its natural habitat (the candy aisle!). I walked up to where it was and realized that it had grabbed King Size bite packets of Kitkats.
By the time I looked up, this creature had already grabbed a large bottle of sugary pop and was walking towards the counter. I was fascinated. How did this creature open the door to grab the pop! Did it have opposable thumbs? Opposable toes?
By the time I got to the counter, the creature was finishing the transaction. I was again curious as to how it would communicate with the clerk at the counter. Would it use sign language? Some guttural sound? Unfortunately, it walked away without communicating.
Thought I would share my experience with some humans here. Quite a thrill I must say when you catch'em in their natural habitat.

Definitely has opposable toes- I'm convinced.
