There was a link to this fascinating resource in another thread, I really do recommend having a look there are some great zoo-related clips. Here are just a few I found interesting:
Chester Zoo, 1944 British Pathe - ZOO (aka CHESTER ZOO)
London Zoo okapi, 1935 British Pathe - MEET THE OKAPI
Paris Zoo 1963 British Pathe - PARIS ZOO'S YOUNGSTERS
London Zoo 1954, arrival of animals from Australia, it doesn't mention it but this was to mark the Queen's Coronation British Pathe - AUSTRALIAN SECTION AT LONDON ZOO
1967, Chi-Chi moves enclosures from the enclosure near the clock tower to the old cattle house I believe, good shots of the exhibit British Pathe - CHI-CHI MOVES HOME
1963, Prince Phillip visits the zoo to open Cotton Terraces, interesting footage featuring baikal seals http://www.britishpathe.com/record.php?id=63076
