This zoo was based upon a dream I had the other night. I intend it to be located in Illinois, not far from my aunt's house.
Also, couple notes:
The zoo's named after russian immigrants who donated their land to whatever city its in. It opened in 1924
The King vulture exhibit is also home to Patagonian cavies. It was previously home to species like bald eagles, red-legged seriemas, and black-handed spider monkeys.
The cranes in the takin exhibit are White-naped cranes. There are also Grey crowned cranes with the zebras.
The space between the monkeys and meerkats is a service area, so the cheetahs don't have to be surrounded by visitors 360 degrees.
I might make a more refined version with additional species in the future.
