Frederic Burk School Children Viewing Animals in an Enclosure at the San Francisco Zoo (Updated three months ago)

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

Frederic Burk School children watch animals inside a fenced enclosure during their 1960 zoo trip to the San Francisco Zoo. Several students hold their noses, reacting to the strong odor from the exhibit, while others peer closely through the chain-link fence. The scene captures a candid mix of curiosity, amusement, and sensory surprise that often comes with visiting the zoo.
