Meet Shabani: the gorilla that women are strangely aroused by.

Are we confused by this attraction? Sure.

There is a gorilla that goes by the name of Shabani that has us many women around the world feeling a little… flustered.

We’re not saying that the animal is “hot”, just really, really, really good looking.

We understand this is an unusual angle to take on the gorilla from Japan‘s Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Garden , so we’ll just let this compilation of the hot gorilla explain our feelings.

It’s like, what are you even thinking, Shabani? He’s so broody and deep and handsome and…

OK we need to stop going down this track, we know.

But it’s not just us. The devilishly handsome primate has seen a spike in female attendances to the Zoo since moving there in 2007, according to Rocket News.

Before this, Daily Mail reported that Shabani grew up in Australia’s own Taronga Zoo.

So you’re welcome, world.

Now that we have undoubtedly convinced you of this animal’s very very very good looks, the question remains: is it so wrong for a human and animal to explore their feelings of love?

According to most criminal codes of practice, yes, yes it is.
