And now for something else entirely... Pablo Escobar's 'Cocaine Hippos'

 

[Chase]

Should Pablo Escobar's Escaped Hippos Be Allowed to Run Wild?

 

[Chase]

Just 4 of them were brought into Colombia for his personal zoo, now there are over 50, and Colombia is facing a 'ticking time bomb'

 

[Eugene]

Well, I was going to pose something else as the next subject but this sounds much more interesting.

 

[Morgan]

Mm... "One juvenile hippo was successfully moved to a Columbian zoo in early September, but it cost 15 million pesos, or about $5,000 USD." Clearly, this is a costly endeavour.

somehow this reminds me of my boss saying yesterday that she's afraid of rabbits because she doesn't trust anything that can reproduce that quickly

@Pitya Ivyr Weren't you posing the question of invasive versus non-native species not too long ago? Here's the opportunity for some excellent research.

 

[Chase]

Morning, @Jacqueline Hyde

 

[Morgan]

Locals seem to love these hippos.

 

[Jacqueline Hyde]
