Drug lord Pablo Escobar is responsible for a growing population of hippos in Colombia after four hippos escaped from his personal zoo and started breeding. There are now around a hundred of these so-called “cocaine hippos” in the wild.In 1910, the American Hippo Bill proposed importing hippos to the Louisiana bayou to solve two key issues in the United States at the time: meat shortages and invasive plant species. The bill never passed.
Hippos have retractable and highly mobile testicles which are difficult to find—making it hard for zoos to control hippo population growth or mitigate aggression in males.Because of the serious complications common with hippo bites—including infection, amputation, and permanent disability—experts recommend treating hippo-related injuries as a major trauma rather an animal bite.
