Uses 2 legs and 2 arms: primates, marsupials, maybe others I'm not thinking of right now
Destroys the ground: any mammal can and in all likelyhood occasionally does do this
Can travel to the moon: not realistic without help from humans, but any of them can
Can be familiar with pu, ku and su: animals can recognize the covers of books and pick them out from a bigger stack of books if trained
Hence all primates and marsupials are people
