Students from Frederic Burk School at the Water Seal Poo - San Francisco Zoo (Updated three months ago)

You can view this bundle in the SFSU Over the Years collection area.

Students from Frederic Burk School observe the seal pool during their zoo field trip. A sign reads, “Feed Water Seal with Fish Only sold here,” encouraging interaction with the animals—common practice at the time. Though the seals are not visible in this image, the round concrete structure and surrounding moat mark it as a typical mid-century seal exhibit.
