Colombia’s Cocaine Hippos

Invasive species or valuable Pleistocene proxy?

Pablo Escabar imported hippos into Colombia, and they ended up getting released into the wild. Long story short, they're displaying similar activities.

Hippos are true ecosystem engineers. Their voracious nightly grazing reverses the choking of waterways by vegetation, and their trails on the banks and in the water create valuable aquatic corridors. Their wallowing creates open pools that serve as refuges for fish, caimans, and waterbirds during dry seasons. Most crucially, their dung acts as a slow-release fertiliser. A 2024 study in Scientific Reports found that lakes with hippos had 40% higher algal productivity and 25% greater microbial diversity than control sites. Fishermen are reporting better catches near hippo wallows. Ecologist Rafael Moreno describes the hippos as “the only large herbivores left to do the work that used to be done by many”.

“no one’s ever mad at me unless they tell me so” is the best assumption i’ve ever made

[dustsculptures]

sorry for tagwatching but you still have to act like they aren’t mad at you imo! bc it’s the mad person’s duty to make it known if they want anything changed. it is never anyone’s duty to be a mind reader.

[nooblord9001]

If I am mad at someone and am remaining Quiet about it, it is because I Do Not Want them to know that I’m mad.

Please respect my boundaries and assume that I am Not mad.

If you’re worried that I am mad, consider the possibility that I am mad for reasons I know are stupid and do not want to make it your problem.
