It follows an inspection by Barrow Borough Council in November, which also commended the zoo.

A zoo must show how its rhinos are able to graze and exercise outdoors after a report found they were subject to what it called a "time-share" rotation.TheAnna Gillard, zoo director, said improvement work "speaks for itself".

"Our records of improvement over the last six years - for example, veterinary care to dramatically reduced mortality rates to nutritional diets - speaks for itself," she said.The zoo is home to more than 1,000 animals including zebras and giraffesbut it has been under new management since 2017Kim Banks, animal manager at SLSZ, said: "There's an unavoidable past that shouldn't have happened, and we don't shy away from that.

Among them was that the zoo must submit a written plan to the council "for how they shall provide grazing and exercise opportunities for all the rhinos within the zoo", which has to be implemented by no later than 16 February 2024.Pest control was a concern raised in the November inspection, with rodents being found in "multiple areas" of the site.
