Escobar's been dead 30 years and still has more political influence than the current guy.
Colombia weighs culling, relocating, or building a 'Jurassic Park' for Escobar's 170 hippos
Colombia's government under incoming president Abelardo de la Espriella is reworking the hippo-control plan budgeted by Gustavo Petro's administration. Descendants of the four hippos Pablo Escobar illegally imported in the 1980s now number around 170 in the Magdalena River basin, and officials are weighing options from culling to relocation to a proposed 'Jurassic Park'-style wildlife enclosure. No final decision or funding has been confirmed.
