Shot on 8mm film in 1972, this vintage home movie captures a hippopotamus swimming in a green-tinted pool at a zoo in Colby, Wisconsin. Viewed through dark vertical bars, the animal moves through the water, creating ripples and splashes. The footage exhibits classic Super 8 grain, color shifts, and a slightly faded quality, evoking a nostalgic, archival feel. The scene is framed by a concrete ledge and a pale wall, emphasizing the enclosure. This authentic 1970s zoo footage is ideal for documentaries, historical content, or nostalgic projects.
