I am just watching a very interesting programme .

Pablo Escobar, the late drug baron, had a zoo in which, against all advice, he kept hippos. After he was killed, the hippos escaped and they are now living in the rivers and breeding.

There is a progarmme afoot to sterilize them before they devastate the Colombian eco-system.

Apparently there are about 60 of them.

You saw it then.

They could devastate the wildlife there.
