A handsome male gorilla nicknamed 'Shabani' has managed to steal the hearts of young women all over Japan.
A gorilla who grew up in an Australian zoo and nicknamed Shabani
has become a heartthrob among women in Japan. The gorilla, who now
lives in Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens in Nagoya, has attracted a
large following of admirers who visit him because he is so handsome.
According to Zoo officials, there had been a notable increase in
young female visitors thanks to Shabani who's rise to fame has been
fuelled largely by Twitter, where fans post pictures of him claiming he
is 'too handsome'. His adoring Twitter following often refers to him as
an 'ikemen', which means a 'good-looking man'.
A senior zookeeper, Allan Schmidt said Shabani was moved to
Australia from The Netherlands as a 2-month-old in December 1996 with
his family. When asked if he was surprised by Shabani's popularity he
said: 'No because the Japanese are crazy... The Japanese love their fads. I would say most people would consider him fairly dashing.
