TL;DR Summary

An offspring of one of Pablo Escobar's "cocaine hippos" was hit and killed by an SUV along a highway near his former ranch in Colombia. The hippos, which were illegally brought to Colombia by the late drug kingpin, have become a tourist attraction in the years since his death. Environmental authorities estimate there are some 130 hippos in the area in Antioquia province and their population could reach 400 within the next decade. Plans to relocate the hippos to other countries have been formed to control their booming population.
