A young polar bear in a zoo enclosure at New York City in 1971 plays with a metal bucket near a water feature. Shot on 8mm film, the footage captures the bear pawing at and lifting the bucket with its paws, showcasing natural curiosity in a captive environment. The scene is bathed in warm, slightly faded color tones typical of vintage home movies, with visible film grain and soft focus. The bear moves across a rocky surface beside water, with a dark rock formation in the background. This archival 8mm home movie offers a nostalgic glimpse into mid-20th century zoo life and animal behavior.
