Abandoned at the age of 3 months, Trent grew up in the Mountains of Chile nurtured by a couple of kind alpacas. Life was very rough in the early years due to the very nature of his diet and personal hygiene. However, there was a lot of loved shared between myself, my parents, and my 17 brothers and sisters. Life was good and I still think back to those days a lot.

In 1973, my family and I were captured by poachers and sold to a local circus in Rio, Brazil. Luckily I was able to stay with my adoptive parents for two years as we traveled with the circus.

However in January of 1976, we were sold to a Zoo in Oklahoma City, OK. At this time the Law stepped in and removed me from my parents. I have never seen them since; however, I have made a success of my life.
