Section 10(16) in The Recognition Of Zoo Rules, 1992
(16)[ All animal enclosures in a zoo shall be so designed as to meet the biological requirements of the animals housed therein. The enclosures shall be of such size as to ensure that the animals get space for their free movement and exercise and the animals within herds and groups are not unduly dominated by individuals. In case of species, which cannot be kept in groups due to behavioural or biological reasons, separate enclosures shall be provided for each animal. The enclosures shall not be smaller than the dimensions given in Appendix II of these rules. These dimensions will not apply to circuses. However, when not in transit the circuses shall provide the animals space for movement and exercise.] [Substituted by G.S.R. 106(E), dated 6.2.2004][(16-A) Zoo operators shall provide appropriate screening between the adjacent enclosures to safeguard against the animals getting exited or stressed because of the visibility of animals in other enclosures.] [ Substituted by G.S.R. 106(E), dated 6.2.2004 (9.2.2004).]
