Connecting People and Animals
At Equator’s Edge Wildlife Center, our mission is to connect people with animals and inspire a passion for protecting the natural world. We create unforgettable experiences that blend wildlife, conservation, research, and education, encouraging visitors of all ages to care for the planet we share.
Discover Life Below the Equator
The equator is an imaginary line – 25,000 miles long – that wraps around Earth, dividing it into two hemispheres. Below this line lies a world filled with extraordinary wildlife and diverse ecosystems.
Step into our center and embark on a journey through the Southern Hemisphere, where you’ll meet:
- Kangaroos and wallabies from Australia, full of curiosity and charm
- Patagonian maras, one of the world’s largest rodents, and armadillos from South America
- African tortoises, ancient and wise symbols of endurance
- Vibrant birds and reptiles, each with its own story to tell
Every encounter offers a window into the beauty and balance of nature—and a reminder of our role in protecting it.
More Than a Zoo
Equator’s Edge Wildlife Center isn’t a traditional zoo or sanctuary; it’s a conservation and education hub. While sanctuaries cannot breed animals, we proudly manage responsible breeding programs focused on kangaroo conservation.
We currently house over six species of kangaroos and wallabies, making us one of the largest marsupial collections in the United States and the only location in Colorado with such diversity. Our breeding efforts help maintain healthy genetic diversity and support zoos and conservation partners across the country.
Join Us on the Journey
At Equator’s Edge Wildlife Center, we believe that connection leads to conservation. Together, we can ensure that the world’s most remarkable creatures continue to thrive – from the equator to the edge of the horizon.
