Line 2:
These animals are a notch higher than the [[Nearly-Normal Animal]], [[Speech-Impaired Animal]], and [[Talking Animal]], but not quite [[Civilized Animal|Civilized Animals]]. They're [[Partially-Civilized Animal]]s!
Like the [[Nearly-Normal Animal]], [[Speech-Impaired Animal]], and [[Talking Animal]], the [[Partially-Civilized Animal]] is very much an animal when it comes to thought processes, personality, instincts, priorities, and motivations. They are more frequently depicted as just walking on four legs than on [[Four Legs Good, Two Legs Better|walking on two legs]] or [[Running
[[Partially-Civilized Animal]]s can make human-like arm and hand gestures and many can grasp objects as if they have opposable thumbs. Some are bipedal even if their species isn't naturally so, but many others are depicted as staying on four legs if they are a four-legged animal in [[Real Life]]. Like [[Nearly-Normal Animal]], [[Speech-Impaired Animal]], and [[Talking Animal]] birds, [[Partially-Civilized Animal]] birds can have [[Feather Fingers]], but their wings have to look completely like wings.
