Pablo Escobar's notorious "cocaine hippos" are facing a cull, according to a statement from Colombia's Minister of Environment and Sustainable Development on Thursday.The herd, which the Colombian government said currently stands at 169 animals, has rapidly reproduced from the original population of one male and three females which the drug kingpin owned as part of his private collection of exotic creatures.After Escobar's death in 1993, authorities relocated most of the other animals in the collection, but not the hippos – because they were too difficult to transport.
