Japanese women go ape over 'hunky gorilla'
Updated | By Bronwyn Hardick

Japan's latest sex symbol is a not a blonde haired, blue eyed member of a boy band from the USA.
It's an 18-year-old 'hunky' silverback gorilla named Shabani. Women are reportedly flocking to the Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens in Nagoya to gawk at the silverback's shapely muscles and striking features.
In an interview with the Agence France-Presse, Higashiyama Zoo spokesperson Takayuki Ishikawa said that Shabani is in peak physical form. “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,” Ishikawa claimed.
So if tall, dark and handsome is your type, have glimpse at the chimp breaking hearts.
