Shot on 8mm film in 1971, this vintage home movie captures a polar bear swimming in a concrete zoo enclosure in New York City. The bear moves through the water near a small waterfall feature, with snow patches visible along the edge of the pool. Bare trees line the background beyond a high wall, suggesting winter or early spring. The footage exhibits classic Super 8 grain, color fading, and slight camera shake, offering a nostalgic glimpse into mid-20th century zoo life and family entertainment.
