The Thing (1982) dir. John Carpenter

A lot of the time they’re given ratlike hind feet, with a long foot with toes at the end. But they’re just hands really. You can see examples of the ratlike feet in these very inaccurate possums from Bambi, with a rats hind foot for reference

Possums also aren’t digitigrade like this one from Adventure Time. If you look at their skeleton you can see they have forward pointing knees like we do and don’t have digitigrade legs like a dog has. They walk with their feet planted on the ground firmly

who says i am dead, knows not at all i am that is two mice within redwall
