According to the BBC, hippos once owned by Pablo Escobar are still roaming the grounds of the late Colombian drug lord's former home, presenting a problem for locals and wildlife officials, who aren't sure the best way to contain or control them.

According to the BBC, the hippos were smuggled in as part of a zoo that Escobar built at Hacienda Napoles, his estate about 200 miles from Bogota. Escobar died in 1993, but his hippos remained on the land, even after the zoo's other animals were relocated. Locals started to call in hippopotamus sightings about seven years ago, and have since reportedly had some close encounters

Kill the hippos? This seems like an easy solution.

Seriously. It's a third world country. Nobody is going to give a dam if somebody pops a couple hippos. Hell, let the government sell hunts.

Saw a documentary on this. They aren't all in pens and can't be rounded up easily.
I'm kind of rooting for them, for some sick reason.

Pablo had 3 or 4. Now there's like 30 of them. Perfect habitat and no predators, they've expanded their range up and down the river over the past 20 years.

he was so baller that when he got sentenced to prison, he built his own custom prison to chill at

Yeah, but have you ever read up on the guy? He had some really serious mental problems and did some cruel, ruthless things to people, things that make the guy in Scarface look like a pussy.

Escobar became one of the wealthiest men in the world. Having more illegal money than he could deposit in banks, he stored bricks of cash in the warehouse where 10% of it was lost because rats would eat it or it would be damaged by water.
His accountant said that they spent $2500 a month just to purchase rubber bands to wrap around the cash.
In 1989 Forbes magazine listed him as the seventh-richest man in the world with a personal wealth of close to $25 billion.
$25 Billion in cash. Not stocks and net worth...cash! Nuts

He was larger than life when I was growing up. You would hear stories about him all of the time in the media. A South American John Gotti on steroids.

He was viewed as a Robin Hood in Columbia because he gave a lot back by building housing, schools, soccer fields, etc that he gave to the locals.
