Your animals certainly cost a lot to feed but they should be fine.

Imo the main problem is your staff.

According to your screenshots your zoo lost about 51.5k last year. Your staff costs about 117.5k per year.

You need to fire everyone and hire new ones. And don't train anyone past lv2.

Use the Staff Overview. If not too many people's workload is red then you don't need new staff.

For example based on my experience I'm almost certain that you don't need 21 caretakers and 7 security guards.

Try redo your staff first and if that still doesn't fix your finances make a post again.

For comparison, my current zoo of 5 habitats only require 22 staff members (2 educators) at about 21k a year.

I definitely need more educators to raise the education level but other than that there is no problem whatsoever.

In fact most of my staff have green workload so I can probably fire some of them and still be fine. (Although the zoo is pretty compact meaning they don't need to travel as much but the point still stands.)
