Women flock to Japan zoo to see 'hunky' gorilla

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."

Japan is very peculiar in some ways. Very driven to extremes for such locked down people, they do say you need to watch the quiet ones...

“”Is it twue what they say about your species being, uh, gifted?””

I read an very, disturbing comment once by Jane Goodall about the size of an ape’s “equipment”. Someone was asking her if she was every attacked by a gorilla in heat. Her response was not to worry because their “wingers” are quite small and their mating ritual only takes seconds. Holy cow! I pray it’s not because she’s experienced that first hand.

I wonder how difficult it is to get a date in Japan? I'm guessing not too much.

It's apparently easy, if you resemble this ape.

Obviously the gorilla identifies as a handsome Asian man. You people are all just specist haters.

Jane “did” the chimps not the gorillas. Chimps scare me more than gorillas.

The rest of Japan must have been downwind from the drifting fallout from Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Before 1945 Japan was nothing but pray-obey-march-conquer-die for Emperor. Totalitarian but easy to understand.

Things have gotten very weird in Dai Nippon since then.
