Shabani is the name of a gorilla raised in Australia who resides in Japan. He gained fame due to being considered handsome and sexy. This led to coverage in news[1][2][3][4]and his being featured on the season 2 premiere of Not Safe with Nikki Glaser.
His residence caused a notable increase in younger female attendance at his zoo.[5][6] There is a DVD film dedicated to him[7] and he became the mascot for a candy line.[8]
