That assumes they have a sense of sight similar to our own. What if their only well developed sense is smell; their equivalent of writing is depositing scent onto paper and their "non-verbal" movements were the movements required to produce, project, and receive, scent? How would we "look" to them? What is to say that they share any senses with us?
