Colombia has initiated the sterilization of invasive hippos, descendants of animals illegally brought to the country by late drug kingpin Pablo Escobar in the 1980s. This move aims to address the issue of 'cocaine hippos' that have been proliferating and causing concerns. The country's efforts to curb the spread of these hippos are driven by the need to mitigate the impact of Colombia's cocaine boom, which is fueling an unprecedented spike in oil theft and remains a top export for drug gangs despite fentanyl's ascendancy. Scientists are also involved in assessing and providing insights on the sterilization process for these hippos.
