A giant gorilla with good looks and strong muscles is causing a stir at a Japanese zoo, with women flocking to check out the gorilla.

Shabani, an 18-year-old gorilla who is heavy at around 180 kilograms , has become the star attraction at Higashiyama Zoo.

"He often rests his chin on his hands and looks intently at you," zoo spokesman Takayuki Ishikawa told 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."

Shabani, who has been at the zoo since 2007, became famous after being made the campaign model for the zoo's spring festival earlier this year, Ishikawa said, adding that Shabani’s skills are also a big hit with women.

"He's a father and he always protects and takes care of his children," he said. "Zoo-goers think his kindness is attractive too."

Women have taken to social media to know about Shabani's looks, describing him as "strong man" and likening him to a male model. "He will look at you in the eye and sometimes if you're taking photos it will look like he's posing for you like a model," said Ishikawa. "But he's the head of a group of five gorillas so it's likely he's just watching out for them and keeping an eye on you."
