Shot on 8mm film in 1959, this vintage home movie captures a group of young bear cubs in a zoo enclosure in Kansas City, Missouri. Visitors, including families and children, lean over a red and gray concrete barrier to watch and feed the cubs. The cubs, small and dark-furred, explore their rocky habitat and interact with the crowd. The footage shows natural film grain, slight color fading, and a handheld perspective, evoking a nostalgic mid-century American zoo experience.
