As an institution accredited by The Association of Zoos and Aquariums, we have long participated in the Species Survival Plan to ensure genetic diversity in wildlife bred under human care. But as an urban campus with a finite 80-acre geographic footprint, the space we can utilize to make a significant impact has been historically limited—until now. Spanning 570 acres in Weld County, Colorado, the Lembke Family Preserve will allow us to profoundly evolve both our animal care and conservation breeding practices. Stay tuned for more information! #wildlifeconservation #conservation #animalcare #denverzoo

Dusty has some serious moves and a taste for the classics! When playing music enrichment for Dusty, his care team noticed he has a fondness for dancing to different types of music. He dances when he’s excited by listening to music or spending time with his favorite animal care staff! Get it, Dusty! 🕺🏼 @Backstreet Boys #ostrich #dancing #backstreetboys #iwantitthatway #tellmewhy #denverzoo (🎥: Animal Care Specialist @Christa)
