Shot on 8mm film in 1946, this vintage home movie captures two small monkeys at a zoo in Calcutta, India. One monkey sits in the foreground, intently chewing on a small object, while another watches nearby. The footage shows natural behavior in a sun-dappled enclosure with a textured concrete floor, exhibiting the characteristic grain, color fading, and soft focus of mid-century amateur film. The scene offers a candid glimpse into animal life in a colonial-era Indian zoo.
