Shot on 8mm film in 1948, this vintage home movie captures multiple bears in a concrete zoo enclosure in Washington DC. The footage shows several bears—some with dark fur, one with a distinctive white chest patch—moving and sitting within a rocky, tiered habitat. The grainy, slightly blurred quality and warm color tones reflect the era's amateur film stock. This archival clip offers a nostalgic glimpse into mid-century zoo life and animal captivity, with natural daylight illuminating the enclosure.
