Chip asked Mary Doria Russell:

What did the people of Rakhat look like? I loved The Sparrow, and liked Children of God. But after finishing the books, I am still not sure whether the Rakhat species resembled bunny rabbits, kangaroos, or something in between. What say you, people of Earth?

Mary Doria Russell Kangaroos, mainly, which look like bipedal wolves and deer when you think about their faces.

BTW, I am a big fan of People of Earth!
