The Uninvited Guests of Pablo Escobar's Legacy A newborn hippopotamus in Colombia, dubbed the "cocaine hippo" due to its connection to the infamous drug lord Pablo Escobar, has been rescued.
This tiny creature is a stark reminder of the enduring consequences of human actions.
Colombia's estimated 200 "cocaine hippos" have disrupted the local ecosystem by devouring fish and threatening endemic species like manatees, otters, and turtles along the Magdalena River.
