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’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.”

I believe you are confusing China with Japan.

"Lingerie vending machines are not unusual in Japan, where one can buy frozen meat, hard liquor, even live lobsters from vending machines. Therefore, Snopes notwithstanding, the jury is still out on Japan's used panty vending machines. They may indeed lurk on shaded corners in questionable neighborhoods, holding out the promise of packaged pungent pleasure to a dedicated segment of society driven by passions beyond the ken of you or I."

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

That’s smart. Chimps will literally bite off your fingers toes, genitals, nose, gouge your eyes out, rip off your face. They dont even do the courtesy of killing you. Adult chimps are scary.

That gorilla looks like Mike Tyson without the face tatoo.

It's a trap - he's scouting the area for gorilla warfare.

He’s more manly than a lot of Japanese men.

Japan: Nuked too much or not enough?

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

No, not in the case of these gorillas. Then again, would Japanese women know the difference?
