According to a blog by Guinness World Records, "Coco is an intact male, Abyssinian guinea pig of approximately 4-5 years old. Gwen fostered and later adopted him from an animal shelter in December of 2018. Due to Coco's abundance of energy and curiosity, Gwen began training him through a trick certification program. He soon learned over 70 tricks and became a certified Trick Guinea Pig Champion."
