In the 1980s, Pablo Escobar smuggled four hippopotamuses into
Colombia for a zoo on his ranch. Today, there are over 160 hippos
in the country. “It’s like hippo paradise here. They have water and
food all year long. They have no predators…They can do whatever
they want." Listen to Jorge Caraballo’s Radio Ambulante episode
