Dead drug lord's hippos on the loose in Colombia

[Foxy Brown]

Hacienda Napoles was Pablo Escobar's pleasure palace, a 5,500-acre estate where the notorious drug lord held court over million-dollar cocaine deals, parties with underage girls and visits by shadowy men of power.

Escobar lived large here in his lush fiefdom 100 miles east of Medellin, far from the teeming slums where he began his life of crime. He built a bullring, an airstrip, an ersatz Jurassic Park with half a dozen immense concrete dinosaurs. He stocked a private wild animal park with hundreds of elephants, camels, giraffes, ostriches, zebras and other animals. He installed four hippos in one of the estate's 12 man-made lakes.

But the hippos are still here.

man...hippos are very dangerous.they killed more people than sharks on average every year.
i do wonder why a colombian drug lord would want to keep hippos in his estates...must be a show of power

Almost everything kills more people than sharks.

Jaws is fiction.

the only reason why sharks don't kill many people imo is cause most people are away from the sea...then again most people don't run into wild hippos either....
