Polar and Brown Bears at Zoo — Clip Details

Shot on 8mm film in 1972, this vintage home movie captures a visit to a zoo in Colby, Wisconsin. The footage shows a polar bear resting on a rock ledge within its enclosure, followed by a brown bear curled up and sleeping nearby. Visitors, including a woman in a striped top and a child in a stroller, walk past the exhibits. The film exhibits classic Super 8 grain, color shifts, and a nostalgic, candid feel, offering a glimpse into mid-1970s family recreation and zoo life.
