Invasive Species: How Pablo Escobar's Hippos are RAVAGING Colombia (Even Today)

Description:
Pablo Escobar's legacy extends beyond the drug empire he built; it now includes a population of invasive hippos that roam the Colombian countryside. These hippos were originally brought to Colombia by Escobar for his private zoo on his sprawling estate. However, after his death in 1993, the hippos were left unchecked and have since multiplied exponentially. With no natural predators and an abundant food supply, these hippos are wreaking havoc on Colombia's delicate ecosystem, displacing native species and damaging local habitats. Efforts to control the hippo population have been challenging, with debates raging over whether to cull the animals or find alternative solutions. The situation underscores the lasting impact of human actions on the environment and the importance of responsible stewardship.
