Los Hipopótamos

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 about narco tours here.
