Thirty years after Pablo Escobar's death in 1993, the notorious cartel leader's"cocaine hippos" are still wreaking havoc in one of the world's most biodiverse countries.
These hippos are descended from just four adults that were illegally imported by Escobar in 1991 from Africa to his private zoo at Hacienda Nápoles. Although many of the zoo's other exotic animals — such as giraffes and zebras — were transferred to sanctuaries after Escobar's death, the three female hippos and the one male remained in place due to the challenges of removing them.

They are territorial, aggressive, fast — both on land and in water — and very strong. There have been at least two hippo attacks on people in Colombia since 2019.
