After he got assassinated by the Govt (see Netflix's Narcos), his 4 hippos fucked each other until there are now 1000+ hippos, whose shit is toxic to the environment and hippos kill more humans in Colombia than any other animal.
Environmentalists have been trying to sterilise the hippos for years, but it requires much time and effort, and there are few resources available. It can take three months to track an individual animal and the procedure is not easy.
Male hippos have retractable testes and females’ reproductive organs are even harder to find, according to scientists.
“We didn’t understand the female anatomy,” said David Echeverri Lopez, a government environmentalist. “We tried to sterilise females on several occasions and were always unsuccessful.”
He is also playing an impossible game of catch-up. Mr Echeverri told The Telegraph that he is able to castrate roughly a hippo per year, whereas scientists estimate that the population grows by 10 percent annually.
There was public outcry when a hippo was killed in 2009 after it had been terrorising local farmers, but scientists say animal rights campaigners are idiots who don't see the bigger picture.
