Our Mission
To convey our love for wildlife by providing safe animal encounters and educational presentations that inspire a passion for nature conservation.
Visit us to meet and learn about
animals from around the world!
Equator's Edge Wildlife Center distinguishes itself as an educational and conservation center rather than a traditional zoo, non-profit, or sanctuary. Unlike sanctuaries, which are prohibited from breeding animals, we focus on kangaroo conservation of various species through breeding programs. Currently, we specialize in over six different species of kangaroos and wallabies, representing one of the largest varieties of marsupials available in the United States, and the only location in Colorado to showcase such a diverse range. Our animals are meticulously selected to enhance the genetic diversity of each species, ensuring that we provide high-quality specimens to zoos and conservation centers nationwide. Visitors to our center can expect to gain valuable insights into educational and conservation initiatives pertaining to wildlife from around the globe.
Did you know?
The equator is like an imaginary ribbon that wraps around our planet, stretching out to about 25,000 miles. It's the line that perfectly divides the world into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere, sitting right at 0 degrees latitude, halfway between the North and South Poles. Speaking of hemispheres, if you’re in the Northern Hemisphere, you're probably already familiar with some incredible animal species that call it home. But let’s not forget about the Southern Hemisphere, where things get really interesting! This part of the world is full of unique environments that are home to some of the most fascinating animals you could ever imagine. So, why not join me on an adventure to explore the amazing wildlife below the equator? You’ll get to meet adorable kangaroos, playful wallabies, vibrant birds, and curious reptiles from Australia. And don't miss out on one of the world’s largest rodents, the charming Patagonian Mara and the 3 banded armadillo and big hairy armadillo from South America. Plus, you can discover the delightful tortoises from Africa. There’s so much to see and learn about—let’s dive into this wonderful journey together!
