As part of a comprehensive government effort, two male hippos and one female have undergone surgical sterilization. The plan involves the annual sterilization of 40 hippos, their transfer to other countries, and possibly euthanasia.
Originating from Escobar’s estate, these animals, without natural predators in Colombia, have become an invasive species threatening the ecosystem. With unfavorable climatic conditions and difficulties in capture, the government estimates that the population of 169 hippos could reach 1,000 by 2035.
