Too bad he didn't like rhinos, too.

Thanks for the info, youresuchatwat. :)

Here is a Washington Post article I found about Escobar's hippos. Apparently, they are wreaking havoc, but many locals love them.

Pablo Escobar introduced hippos to Columbia (and they’ve become a real problem). But, hey, at least there’s...

Another vote!

I hadn't heard about the hippos? Does anyone have any information about this you'd like to share?
