Brother Nature grew in prominence in 2016 after sharing a video featuring the unliekly friendship he made with a deer named Canela.
Canela is just one of Peña’s beloved deer friends. In 2016, he told Buzzfeed that it all started when he approached a deer, expecting it to run away, but it didn’t. He ‘felt they had a connection’, and ran inside his home to get an apple for the deer.
He named that particular animal Money because he ‘felt like he deserved the name’.
Brother Nature has since become an animal rights activist and is often seen posing in photos with exotic animals from across the world.
He has more than 2.4million followers on Twitter and another 2.7million followers on Instagram.
