Shot on 8mm film in 1948, this vintage home movie captures a lion resting in its enclosure at a Washington DC zoo. The lion lies on a concrete platform near a grassy area, its golden fur visible under natural daylight. In later frames, two children—a boy in a striped shirt and a girl in a plaid dress—walk along a paved path near the exhibit, observing the animals. The footage shows classic Super 8 film grain, slight color fading, and a handheld perspective, offering a nostalgic glimpse into mid-century zoo life and family outings.
