A giant gorilla with brooding good looks and rippling muscles is causing a stir at a Japanese zoo, with women flocking to check out the hunky pin-up.
Shabani, an 18-year-old silverback who tips the scales at around 180 kilograms (400 pounds), has become the star attraction at Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens in Nagoya, striking smouldering poses the movie model in "Zoolander" would be proud of.
"He often rests his chin on his hands and looks intently at you," zoo spokesman Takayuki Ishikawa told AFP on Friday.
"He is more buff than most gorillas and he's at his peak physically. We've seen a rise in the number of female visitors -- women say he's very good-looking."

I have long thought that Muslims were the most sexually maladjusted people on the planet.
But then these articles about Japan keep cropping up. Anime cartoon sex. Used panty vending machines. Groupies throwing themselves at a gorilla.
I may have to revise my opinion.
“He often rests his chin on his hands and looks intently at you,”
Sheesh. I do that and people call the police.
Linkee, please!!
Cripes, if he moves to American and gets an Hawaiian “certificate of live birth”, no telling what could happen.
He looks like Paulie Walnuts.
Japanese are VERY odd.

Smoldering poses? Ugh. Yes, I have said “that’s a good looking horse or dog or...but not in a weird, hairy jungle primate you turn me on sense.
I don’t know. It seems like a pretty popular trend in the US too, at least here in New York.
I love the Japanese for all their weirdness, bless their gorilla-loving hearts.
"IT'S TWUE! IT'S TWUE!"
Japanese aren’t maladjusted, they are obviously ‘frustrated’.......................B^)
Ok then.
She was a gifted actress....................
Sales of ‘gorilla suits’ are suddenly spiking in Japan....................
I’m not surprised coming from a culture who find mutilated/bound feet on a woman (who can barely take a step) to be beautiful. Not surprised, but fairly repulsed actually.
