These heartwarming pictures capture a tender moment between a gorilla and her baby - who can't seem to decide whether she is hungry or tired.

The adorable images were captured at Moscow Zoo, in Russia, and show 21-year-old gorilla Kira proudly cradling her two-week-old baby.

The pictures show the youngster, who has not yet been named, nursing while in her mother's arms and then yawning before presumably going for a nap.

According to local reports, the baby, who was born July 22, is so attached to her mother that workers at the zoo have not yet been able to take her away to be weighed.

But as these pictures show, it appears that she is doing just fine living with her parent and the other welcoming gorillas at the zoo.

This is the third baby Kira has given birth to. Her eldest now lives at a zoo in Warsaw, Poland, while the other is still living in Moscow.
