Answer

The table shows data for 6 zoos. You can also say the data shows information about 6 zoos. The data which regards the zoos is shown in the table.
We don't say shows data on 6 zoos.

I have data on 6 zoos.

The preposition depends on the verb that is used.

Answer

全部ほとんど同じ意味なんですが、「data on」の方が多く使われますね。でも、「これ間違ってる！」みたいな感じではありません。笑　（日本語変ですいません。爆笑）
