ILLEGAL TRADE of HIPPOS in COLOMBIA?!
TODAY were are going to discuss an article (cited below) about the wild non-native Hippos in Colombia. It is a surprising SWEET story about a little girl and a hippo friend she has because of her dad's illegal business dealings. We previously discussed this in my episode on HIPPOS IN AMERICA! We discuss hippo birth control, castration, and other methods to mitigate the growth of the population. Thanks for watching!
I am going to update you guys on the hippo bacon situation in an extended episode coming soon!

♡ ARTICLE ♡
In Colombia, Escobar’s hippos spawn another problem: Wildlife *******
by Diana María Pachón on 8 February 2022 | Translated by Maria Angeles Salazar (link below)
♡ FOUR MAIN POINTS OF THE ARTICLE ♡
+ An attack on a man in rural Colombia last October has highlighted the little-known ******* of Colombia’s notorious, and non-native, hippos.
+ The roughly 70 hippos in the wild in Colombia today all originate from four animals brought over by the late **** kingpin Pablo Escobar.
+ The town of Doradal near Escobar’s fabled ranch is a center of the hippo-********-trade, which targets calves and sells them to wealthy ranch owners as a status symbol.
+ Mongabay Latam investigated how the illegal sale of hippo calves works from the inside.

Spotify does WHAT NOW? The dark side of Spotify.
Spotify has engaged in some really dirty business practices and all the hoopla of them being in the news this week with the controversy around Joe Rogan reminded me of this topic I wanted to start with you!
I got the idea for this video from:
Slightly Socialable's video called "The Dark Side Of Spotify" link below:

Why you should care about East Coast EARTHQUAKES!
I learned about this topic from the channel DEEP DIVE and I am linking the video here: https://youtu.be/Kn2KFC8cX-g
This topic is fascinating and something I had never heard of. Basically, in 1811 an earthquake as large as the San Fransisco earthquake of 1906 struck an unlikely area.... the Mississippi River Valley and specifically a town called New Madrid! The effects were felt all along the east coast and throughout the entire continental US! I hope you enjoy! Thank you so much for watching and like and subscribe if you like the content! ૮ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ა
