The various members of the Zoo Crew lived on a parallel Earth that, during DC's Pre-"Crisis" Multiverse system, was named "Earth-C". Earth-C consisted of a world where various anthropomorphized talking animals existed; the series featured many animal-themed pun names for real-world aspects. For instance, the Zoo Crew operated out of "Follywood, Califurnia", a parody of Hollywood, California. Similarly named Earth-C cities include "Gnu York" (New York City), "Tallahatchee" (Tallahassee, Florida), and "Loondon" (London). Countries on Earth-C include "Cornada" (Canada), and the "United Species of America" (United States of America); the capital of the United Species was "Waspington, D.C." (Washington, D.C.).
