Shot on 8mm film in 1971, this vintage home movie captures a bear in a zoo enclosure at New York City's zoo, playfully interacting with a ball in the water. The bear splashes and rolls in the shallow pool, its dark fur glistening under natural light. A spectator's head is visible in the foreground, observing the animal. The footage shows the characteristic grain and color saturation of Super 8 film, offering a nostalgic glimpse into mid-20th century zoo life and family entertainment.
