Bonsai is sired by one of the best-known colored sons of PCA Accoyo El Nino, El Nino's Accoyo Michelangelo. Accoyo Mike, as he is known by his owners, has sired alpacas of every color from white to true black, including greys. Bonsai's sire line is anchored by El Nino, one of the best-known sons of Pperuvian Caligula G4572, arguably one of the most prepotent import males ever to be imported.
