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

A hippopotamus, descended from animals illegally brought to Colombia by drug kingpin Pablo Escobar, has died in a collision with an SUV on a highway near Escobar’s hacienda. The hippos, which have no natural predators in Colombia and have been declared an invasive species, now number more than 100 and could rise to 400 in eight years. The crash reflected the additional danger that hippos, which weigh as much as 2 tons, can pose to motorists. Colombia has proposed transferring at least 70 of the animals to India and Mexico to control their population.
