Anant Ambani, son of Asia's richest man Mukesh Ambani, has offered to care for the hippopotamuses living wild in Colombia since Pablo Escobar's death. The drug lord imported the animals to his private zoo in the 1980s. After his death in 1993, the hippos escaped into local waterways and have since multiplied to around 80-100 animals, becoming an invasive species that damages ecosystems and poses risks to nearby communities. Colombian authorities have struggled for years to manage the population through culling and relocation efforts. Ambani's offer represents a potential new approach to the problem, though details on how he would capture, transport, or house the animals remain unclear. The proposal comes as Colombia seeks solutions beyond lethal control measures, which have faced local and international resistance. The hippos remain a lingering consequence of Escobar's criminal empire and a persistent environmental challenge for the country.
