I'm Eighty Percent Neanderthal

Good evening, dear lady, how do you do?
I humbly present myself to you.  
It's true.  I just escaped from the zoo,

but I'm not a snake or ocelot, 
and though, on my coat, you see a spot, 
I'll give you everything I've got -

and while I have a tail, prehensile,
I have what you need - the essential.
So, put down that kitchen utensil.

My finger claws are all retractive.
So, let's get wild and interactive.
A neanderthal can be attractive.

Haha, people say I'm 100% Neanderthal, but I think I'm at least part Homo Sapiens!
