Tokyo (CNN)Who could resist that striking countenance, that chiseled brow -- and that toned, furry butt?

A surprisingly hunky male gorilla, Shabani, has female humans going ape after mugshots of the 18-year-old animal began going viral on Twitter.

Zoo officials tell CNN that young women have been flocking to see the pretty primate, who lives at the Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens in Nagoya.

Want to catch a glimpse of Shabani? Get in line. About 100 admirers constantly surround his exhibit, shouting "Look at me, Shabani!" and "This way, Shabani!" whenever he comes out.

You could also go on Twitter, where excited users are swapping photos of the hairy heartthrob: Close-up portraits, alluring full-body poses, and sizzling snapshots of Shabani showing off his impressive muscles.

Comments say he's "too handsome."

But too bad. Shabani is taken. According to officials, the gorilla has two wives, Ai and Nene. He's also said to be an excellent father to his children, Kiyomasi and Annie.

Takayushi Ishikawa, a zoo spokesperson, said Shabani's fame was "totally unexpected."

"It's a perfect example of the Internet society... we were very surprised by the phenomenon," he told CNN.

But like a true superstar, Shabani isn't fazed.

As Ishikawa says: "He seems to have noticed his new popularity, but he's kept it very cool."

    Nothing in this world is done by accident. There's a rhyme or reason for these different things when they occur in the media.

    The crazy thing is that Japans birthrate is low because Japanese men are betas as hell. Saw a documentary of how Japanese men are going for electronic robots and not their women. In the future i expect Japan to accept immigration. To save Japan you can send about 3 million american male virgins and in 10 years Japans birth rate would go up 65%. Japanese women are not being approached by their men so they find a gorilla masculine lol.

    A male gorilla is masculine.

    The word comes from gorillai or gorillae, a Greek word describing tribal people of Africa. Also, a friend of mine taking a black history course mentioned that part of US propaganda on Japan was pamphlets that warned the Japanese of US sending their giant ape men to come after them. I've never seen or heard evidence of the latter, though.
