Pablo Escobar's infamous 'cocaine hippo' killed in Colombia car accident.

A hippo descended from Pablo Escobar's private menagerie died in Colombia after being hit by a car. The hippos were illegally brought into Colombia in the 1980s by Escobar as part of a collection of exotic animals he amassed at his ranch. After his death, authorities relocated most of the animals, but not the hippos because they were too difficult to transport. The hippos have reproduced rapidly and are now an invasive species in Colombia, posing a threat to agriculture and people's safety. Authorities have tried to control the population boom of the animals with sterilizations, contraceptive darts, and recently announced a $3.5 million plan to relocate 70 hippos to sanctuaries in Mexico and India.
