Agenor is a very gentle soul, which is why he gets along so well with animals. Here is what he wrote about himself. “I’m from Autazes, and I’m 23 years old. I’m very adventurous, a free spirit. I love nature, and I’m gay.
Getting here wasn’t easy. I thought about giving up several times. I already suffered from anxiety and depression, and to all of this, I found the cure in animals and nature.
In addition to working with animals, I also have other hobbies. I like to cook, draw, and paint. I like the simple things in life. I am passionate about cultures; in fact, I show that we can be happy with the little that we have.”

Besides living with animals and his other interests, Agenor shared what he is up to. “I’ve always lived in the countryside, and I only go to the city to study. At the moment, I’m on vacation, but in general, during the week, I study agronomy, and on weekends, I come back to the farm. I really enjoy being in the woods.”

There is no doubt that this love goes both ways. Agenor shared how it feels to be loved by so many animals and what it requires for animals to love you back. “It is very satisfying to give love and be rewarded with love in return, first step trust, respect, then captivate them.”

Agenor has been sharing the goings-on of his farm on the internet since 2019, and it quickly gained popularity as he started sharing his daily routine

Agenor’s content took the internet by storm, and we were curious whether he had ever imagined such popularity. Agenor shared: “Wow, I started recording in 2019, I started posting about my day-to-day routine and culture, and I always posted the animals. I would never have imagined that I would get this far. I always had the support of my parents, and my brother, and I must owe all this to them.”
