c1960's Ektachrome 35mm Slide Border Alligators Crocodiles Reptile Zoo Exhibit

Numerous alligators and crocodiles are densely packed within a shallow water enclosure, their scaly bodies creating a textured surface across the murky water. Several reptiles have their heads and backs visible above the water, while others are partially submerged, showing active movement within the habitat. The enclosure is bordered by a light orange brick wall, which is well-maintained and forms a secure barrier.

Above the brickwork, a metal mesh fence provides an additional layer of containment, showing a public display or zoo setting. Behind the fence, a variety of trees and lush foliage create a natural backdrop, with a small building featuring a dark, sloped roof visible on the left side. The scene captures a moment of intense activity among the reptiles, with ripples and splashes evident in the water.

This image offers a glimpse into mid-century wildlife exhibits, of zoological and travel photography. The Ektachrome film stock presents a warm, slightly faded color palette, typical of slides from this era. The composition effectively conveys the crowded nature of the reptile habitat, focusing on the animals themselves.

The slide exhibits some dust and minor surface imperfections, its age and handling. SKU: A2-2-03
