Escobar's HIPPO Empire Lives On!

In the 1980s, infamous drug lord Pablo Escobar created a private zoo on his estate in Colombia, filled with exotic animals, including a few hippos. After Escobar’s death, the zoo was abandoned, and the hippos escaped, thriving in the Colombian countryside. Despite attempts to control the hippo population, they multiplied, causing chaos for locals and wildlife. Today, Colombia has a bizarre population of wild hippos that don’t belong, thanks to Escobar’s extravagant lifestyle and unexpected ecological legacy.
