A Group Of Hyenas Laying In The Grass In The Middle Of A — Clip Details

The grainy, color-bleached film shows two spotted hyenas resting and interacting in a natural savanna setting.

Archive Intelligence

Archive brief fit: 1960s 8mm wildlife home-movie footage suited to documentary inserts, archive research, or educational sequences needing hyenas in a grassy Nigerian setting.
Period detail: The frames show color 8mm material with soft focus and faded tones; the 1969 Lagos metadata is the main period and location clue rather than a visible landmark.
Home-movie behavior: The clip has an observational home-movie feel, with the camera watching resting hyenas from a distance rather than staging or controlling the animal behavior.
What appears in frame: Visible elements include two spotted hyenas, tall green grass, a soft savanna-like field, dark contact-sheet borders, film grain, and slight exposure variation.
Film character: The footage carries a physical 8mm texture with grain, muted color, soft focus, and a steady but informal handheld viewpoint.
Edit role: An editor could use this as a short wildlife cutaway, a natural-history memory beat, or a quiet transition within a 1960s Africa travel or animal sequence.
Historical context: The clip visually documents hyenas at rest in open grass, offering animal behavior context without showing people, buildings, landmarks, or identifiable human activity.
Research note: No people, logos, or private property are visible, but users should still assess copyright status, source permissions, and any location or wildlife-use requirements.
Research search match: Likely matches searches for 1969 Lagos Nigeria 8mm hyenas, vintage African wildlife home movie, spotted hyenas in grass, and 1960s animal footage.
Archive pairing path: Pair first with adjacent shots from the same reel, then other Lagos or Nigeria 1969 material, and then broader vintage African wildlife or grassland animal footage.
