A young bear plays with a metal bucket in a river at a zoo, captured on 8mm film in 1971. The bear lifts and examines the bucket, dipping it into the water and shaking it, its wet fur glistening under natural light. The scene unfolds in a rocky enclosure with a calm water feature, showcasing the animal's curiosity and playful behavior. The footage has a distinct vintage look with soft focus, film grain, and color shifts typical of home movie recordings from the early 1970s. This authentic, unscripted moment offers a nostalgic glimpse into wildlife at a New York City zoo during the 1970s.
