Hyena Walking Through Grass and Waterbucks Grazing in... — Clip Details

Vintage 8mm home movie footage from Lagos, Nigeria, in 1969 captures a wild African savanna scene. A hyena walks through tall grass and shrubs, its spotted coat visible in the natural light. The clip transitions to a wide grassy plain where two antelopes, likely waterbucks with prominent ringed horns, graze under a pale blue sky. One animal stands alert, facing the camera, while the other feeds. The film exhibits classic Super 8 grain, color shifts, and a slightly soft focus, evoking a nostalgic, archival feel. This authentic wildlife footage offers a rare glimpse of Nigerian fauna from the late 1960s.

Topics & Keywords

Archive Intelligence

Archive brief fit: Useful for 1960s editorial or documentary requests needing short archival wildlife footage from Nigeria with savanna animals in a home-movie source.
Period detail: The visible clues are mainly the 8mm film texture, muted color, and metadata-supported 1969 Lagos, Nigeria setting rather than identifiable landmarks or dated objects.
Home-movie behavior: The clip has the observational feel of a traveler or visitor filming wildlife from a distance, with animals moving naturally rather than staged for camera.
What appears in frame: Visible elements include tall grass, shrubs, scattered trees, a hyena-like animal, grazing horned antelopes, open sky, and dark film frame borders.
Film character: Soft focus, visible grain, color shifts, and handheld framing give the footage a period 8mm home-movie character suitable for archival texture.
Edit role: An editor could use this as a brief wildlife insert, travel-memory cutaway, or transition between broader African landscape and animal behavior material.
Historical context: The frames show wildlife in a grassy savanna or park-like landscape, but they do not establish a specific reserve, landmark, or event beyond the supplied Lagos 1969 metadata.
Research note: No people, brands, or readable property marks are visible, but users should still verify copyright, source permissions, and species or location identification before publication.
Research search match: Likely matches searches for 1969 Nigeria 8mm wildlife, Lagos home movie savanna animals, hyena in grass, and waterbuck or horned antelope grazing.
Archive pairing path: Pair first with other footage from the same reel, then Lagos or Nigeria 1969 material, then broader African wildlife and savanna animal scenes.
