Shot on 8mm film in 1964, this vintage home movie captures a nighttime scene in a wooded area where beavers gather sticks and debris, likely for their dam. The footage is dark and grainy, with a flashlight beam illuminating the animals and surrounding foliage. Later frames transition to a brighter, daytime scene showing two black bears in a snowy enclosure, one standing upright while the other rests. The clip blends natural behavior with a zoo-like setting, offering a nostalgic glimpse of wildlife observation from the mid-20th century.
