(WBIR-Knoxville) You can look, but you can't touch!
The Knoxville Zoo is keeping the cute coming when it comes to their two gorilla babies.
Tuesday, the zoo posted video of momma Hope trying to discourage another female gorilla from getting too close to her baby.
"While Hope was not so keen on anyone touching her bundle of joy (like so many moms with teensy babies!) she was very patient and loving with Kowali," the zoo wrote on its Facebook page.
Kowali is the only female gorilla in the group not to have a baby, but the zoo says she seems very content being an auntie, and is very curious about the little ones.
Both Hope and the other mother gorilla, Machi, are very protective of their babies. They haven't even let their zoo keepers close enough to determine the sex of the now
Hope's baby was born on May 28, and was the first gorilla birth ever at Knoxville. Machi's baby came just a few days later, on June 2. The father of both babies is Bantu.
You can visit the gorilla babies at the Knoxville Zoo.
