Pablo Escobar's 'Cocaine Hippos' Might Finally Need to Be Killed
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 окт 2024
- It might be time to cull the world’s largest invasive species: Pablo Escobar’s cocaine hippos. The rapidly reproducing 80 hippos have taken over Colombia’s waterways, poisoning wildlife with their toxic urine and feces, scientists say. But not everyone can agree on what to do with them.

I hate to break it to you...
You don’t even have to be rich. A lot of ecosystems have been ruined by people releasing exotic animals and such, and this is especially true for releasing non-native fish in waterways. These ecosystems developed a balance between the plants and animals living there for so long, so if you introduce something new it throws everything off

2:02 - Notice that this "eco-activist" made zero references to the Hippos ecological impact whilst making direct appeals to the monetary benefit of keeping them around. I'm not sure if this lady is really deserving of that title.
Eco-activists tend to ignore those stuff.
they must've thought the eco in eco activist meant economy lol
There's a reason why so many eco-activists get murdered by the animals they're trying to save.
It's because they're idiots and wild animals are dicks.
@alleMW2 She doesn’t want them killed because there are people who depend on them to make a living. I’m not saying they shouldn’t do something about it but I don’t blame her for her response.
@@aidinchaput708 then she should have them in control in a place where she owns the land. If your dog bites someone in public, you put it down. If a hippo does so, put them down.

Yeah what he said ✌️in my 1970’s voice
Pablo brought them the master smuggler now their just breeding and chilling
Stfu
Thank you!! Also, lions can't kill hippos, the hippo's skin is too thick. And it's the hippos that kill crocodiles not the other way round as the video suggested at 1:29.
@@realistyl You must be into smuggling animals Mr. STFU 🙄
Sterilization is an extremely difficult task. We accompanied a team during this process and actually catching one was the easiest part. The surgery on spot in the Colombian heat was tough. And the animal had to be transported to a different place for regeneration, many hours drive through cartel lands.. There are just not enough resources in Colombia for all the hippos.
Wow that’s a cool job but just wondering If catching them is easiest part why can’t they catch and transport them back to Africa.

@@Oshdog70 Well spotted.
She though eco-activist means economy-activist, she's only talking about money
I doubt she even knows what that means. The video flag her as an eco activist not her
A bit of a short term economic gain is not worth sacrificing the entire local eco system for. They should have been removed ages ago tbh.
lol nobody was up for the task and cant blame them 😂
They don’t do anything for the local eco system
They only benefit people not the other animals
They did actually, they sent bunch of armies to killed the hippos, and the photos of the armies stand with the dead hippos bring outrageous to people
@@hanszer0729 Yes, I remember that. People got upset… not sure why that stopped them though.
I have to tell you, hippos have the greatest PR team ever. They are consider the deadliest mammal after humans and yet people are 🥰. “Don’t harm them, they are so cute and adorable, what harm do they do?”
Not here, the only thing we ever hear is people getting hurt by them
Very true. I think they're fun to watch...ON TV. I wouldn't feel that way if they were eating all of the fish I could have caught and other aquatic animals that live there.
The devil works hard but Moto Moto works harder
The fact is any invasive species will be a big problem for the environment and other species and yes it is sad that they might have to kill the hippos cause if they don't it'll just cause even more problems for example Aisan carp cause serious damage to the native fish populations in the lake and rivers that they infest because they out-compete other fish for food and space. Carp are also thought to lower water quality which can kill off sensitive organisms like native freshwater mussels.
@@techlife4599 it’s not just aquatic creatures that die to hippos. Hippos are notorious for killing humans.
I love how they're calling them "coke hippos" like they eat straight coca leaves, go on benders and snort an 8 ball every night

People were educated about wildlife from Disney films. Look at the reactions when Cecil the lion was shot. People (actual adults) were concerned about his cubs not having a father. Even speculating Cecil's brother would take over their care. Lion cubs are raised exclusively by females and actually have to be protected from the males. If the cubs are killed it will make the female go back into heat and want to mate again. Male lions try to kill babies to get laid. Real life isn't The Lion King.
"local eco-activist": they are cute dont kill them.
What shes actually trying to say: these hippos are what runs this place. Don't kill them, we want money.
I mean yeah this is a small place in Colombia, they need all the money they can get
The livelihood of people is more important than the extinction of a few species.
@@ecclesiasticman4417 Actually the hippos have not done much to significantly effect tourism. What they do earn usually goes into the hands of the already rich, the locals get none of it.
@@rayyanibrahim451 that’s not exactly a fair statement they have improved tourism objectively and any money that comes in to Columbia legally is good for the country regardless of who is the primary beneficiary
@@noahbutler9180 They have improved tourism only slightly. Not many people come to Columbia to see the hippos and the money is not directly benefitting the people, it is falling into the hands of the already rich who don't really "need" it. Also ecotourism in different forms (wildlife sighting tours, bird watching, fishing lodges) brings in much more tourists revenue, especially for locals.
That eco-activist basically said “noo don’t kill them they’re too cute, and make us a lot of money-I MEAN uh, they’re animals, they just wanna live :)”
Notice the words there. "don't kill them because they make us alot of money.". She's an eco activist alright.... Just the wrong ECO
So short sighted that so called activist.
That tune will change eventually. Then it will be racisms fault that Colombia’s ecosystem is screwed up. Deal with the problem
They don't care about the cute part it's just about money
"Castrating a hippo ... practically impossible." - Yea, I can see that. I wouldn't try castrating a hippo if someone gave me a million dollars.

I don’t think a lot of people understand just how dangerous hippos are. They may have been painted as “cute and cuddly” by most in society but in reality they would rip you apart faster than most of the “scary” predators out there.
More chew or stomp. But basically.

@@Shiroyasha2397 madagascar made me feel like they were nasty lol. I guess different interpretation.Moto Moto was not cute at all.
Hippos are awesome, but they are so violent they shred there own babies often when in rages 😳
Hippos are awful, they're extraordinarily aggressive and dangerous beasts. The only 'benefit' of having them is that you can look at them, and even then you can't get close without risking being dragged under water and torn apart.
Humans are worse lol
The hippos in South America aren't as aggressive as the hippos in Africa. Easy living has made them a lot less temperamental

*Proceeds to show a woman casually feeding a hippo carrots in the middle of the day as if it's her puppy🤨
Hahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahhahaha
That was a baby hippo haha
Not sure if you know this.
Hippos don't have natural predators. While extremely young, hippos are vulnerable, but the mother and father hippos will absolutely kill anything that gets close.
hippos are irl raid bosses. thick armor, huge jaws with long sharp tusks, and surprising mobility
The only 2 things that are a threat to them (at least in Africa) are rhinos and elephants. Rhinos are stupid and can usually just be scared off, if not that horn could pose a serious threat.
Elephants on the other hand have no problem bullying hippos if they want.
Neither are predators tho.
Africa has large prides of Lions that will hunt them from time to time in specific conditions. Africa also does not have as many bodies of water and goes through long periods of dryness, meaning due to their aggressive and territorial nature Hippos compete and kill each other which means they kind of regulate themselves. Columbia has none of that. Which means unless we kill them now when they’re aren’t that many, their population will grow out of control until it destroys the entire Colombian ecosystem in a domino effect. The lack of education in that subject is why so many people are like “no they cute leave them there” not knowing that’s going to eventually destroy the very fish and plants they rely on to survive. When invasive species find themselves somewhere because humans put them there, it is our responsibility to take them out.
For yall information hippos r menace to society they even kill their own children and yeah a pack of lion could kill him but why tf should they its not worth lions would only do that if they have to thats means except for humans and elefants the only enemy they have r other hippos
@@larryxiang822 Welp....time to bring out my rpg and make some hippo soup
If you're interested in stories about killing invasive species look into the thousands of invasive goats that they killed on the Galapagos with a helicopter and a sniper because they were eating the Galapagos tortoises same food source. It saved the tortoises
I remember that story! Super interesting way to do it, but effective ad we've seen. If anyone doesn't know what happened,
they strapped a tracking collar to 1 Goat and released back into the Galapagos. That goat would find other colonies of goats, and the government would follow it and then kill all the goats from the helicopter. They would spare the goat that had the collar, and it would go and find another group of goats. Rinse and Repeat until all the Goats were wiped out

hmm yeah and and what are you suggesting exactly? Admitting they're a huge problem and trying to deal with it somehow is literally the one way forward. For those particular ecosystems, the damage that these invasive hippos are doing is literally worse than, for instance, climate change, by becoming top predators out of the blue and severely altering the quality of water and soils, with obvious consequences for the overall health of animal (and human!) populations.
I care about the environment, and by environment I mean my personal enjoyment of an invasive species based purely on aesthetics with no regard for the actual ecosystem...

Mmmm....if you got rid of the hippos, how much of an impact would that have on the natives who make money from them? Guess the un effical soloution would be to have someone work out how many the local eco system could support, and charge a ridiculous amount for people to cull them in a big game hunt thing... are their teeth tusk like? As ethically culling, could sell that, columbian coke hippo leather could be a thing, handbag or seat and bags on a motorcyle, and guess the chinese would buy the meat... just need to make sure theyre kinda enclosed, set up a nature reserve
LMAO the turist be like i dont give a F. the solution is a bullet and put a end to this circus once and for all.
I never thought I would read a headline like this in my life.
Right I’m soo confused even after watching this video baffled to the extreme
Factz
I seriously never knew hippos 🦛 have “internal balls”
Come to think of it I've never seen them before, now I know why
Learn something new every day...
Wheres the womans "balls"? Internal...
Name me one animal that's technically not?
An eco-activist praising an invasive species destroying their home. What.

Hi baby
@@lulzsec3047 ???
They make her money.
It's most likely they're too ignorant to understand ecology
“Not only are there ‘balls’ internal”…. Nice terminology vice lol
“Even if this species is super charismatic and super cute” my favorite quote
They can kill everything remotely smaller tha them. They are very territorial and will kill even young hippo.
Lmao people saying to just sell them. are you going to risk your life to go capture them?
People forget how real life is. O YEAH LET ME GO CATCH 80+ hippos easy
Put them in my spare hippo cages I have laying around
Anyone wants 80 hippos whole sale

Don’t let the hippos fluttering eye lashes fool you. These monsters are so ruthless that if there’s no food available for its young the mother will just kill it.
ruclips.net/video/ywySFEasM90/видео.html
A lot of animals do this if they don't have enough food available, even household dogs and cats
Yeah. It’s a tough life in those cases.
You mean, like any other animal including humans?

I honestly never imagined someone could find Hippos cute
aww, don't be jealous.
You ever seen a baby hippo..
They're pretty adorable.
If you don't think they're cute, them I'm way ugly
Just the babies lol
They are adorbs
I understand from what I've heard, hippos kill more humans than lions & other big cate. They can bloody well run, at about 30km,... (maybe want to check that speed) they ain't slow.
Yes you are correct. Hippos do kill more people in Africa then any other animal.
There's a copy/pasta about this
"Imagine coming to a hostile alien world and being attacked by a horde of creatures that weigh up to 3 tons, run up to 30kph, and bite with a force of 8,100 newtons."
"By the time you realize they can traverse water, it's too late. The surviving members of your unit make it back by shedding their excess gear and running for their lives. The slower ones were crushed to death in seconds."
"You later describe the creature to one of the humans you captured, wanting to know the name of the monster that will haunt your dreams for cycles to come"
"The human smiles as it speaks a single word, slowly and distinctly, in its barbaric tongue"
_Hippopotamus_
@@Reignor99 good short story. Hippopotamus Cocaini Horribilis
@@Reignor99 You should write horror books. That was pretty good.
Yea. I mean if the officials could've rounded them up and dump them into zoos like the other animals, they would have. It's probably difficult to do it without harming them. I do wonder if these hippos have caused any casualty so far. Probably not, given how the locals loved them I guess.
The real question is how did Pablo’s men capture the hippos, if they were so hard to catch ?
Because as they stated they smuggled them from a zoo in America, you know, where they are already pretty much in a cage where it is probably easier to sedate them. Not that difficult to figure out my friend
Babies?
He gave them drug
How ?
Cocaine is helluva drug, you can do anything when you had some
Exactly, they should be able to capture them and move them to their natural habitat. Killing/castration is a radical solution. Besides, they didn't bring themselves.
I mean you started out with 4 hippos and 40 years later you have 80. That's not really a population explosion that's two hippos born every year.
unlike the us now having 60 million Hispanics since the the 80's.
That's not how exponential growth works. Look at the graph
@@niasee Wouldn't the lack of genetic diversity keep the population in check? Isn't that what's kept their numbers so low considering they have no predators and endless resources? 375 total hippos in the next 10 years would be an insane increase.
If they have NO predators, and ENDLESS resources such as food and a perfect environment to survive….why would that keep their population in check?…That would mean its hard for them to die, and why wouldnt they reproduce if they have a perfect life here with all the resources they could ever need. They didnt populate fast right away, because they only started out with a few hippos…Hippo’s gestation period is 243 days, and if there were only 4 hippos at first, it would make sense why its going to be an exponential growth versus a non exponential period.
*exponential growth
Before y’all hate on hippos - did you know there are two kinds? These are Nile hippos but there are also Pygmy hippos which are much much smaller, solitary, more land dwelling, and extremely endangered. These hippos certainly do not belong here and if culling them needs to be done it should - but don’t spread hate for a whole group of animals you don’t know anything about. It can be detrimental to the Pygmy hippo.
True. Underrated comment
Yeah 80 hippos are a novelty. 1,500+ would be devastating if unchecked
We wish they were 80 they are more than a 100 or more we don't really know.
@@viceralman8450 yep lol i've noticed reporters rarely do accurate research and are more obsessed with clickbait content
@@GorilieVR Not Vice fault but ours there’s no official estimate how the number of hippos.
@@viceralman8450 Actually i think the 80 hippo number is an exaggeration, hippos give birth to 1 cub every 2 years and the number of hippo started from 4, to reach 80 today looks like an exaggerated number.
@@jyde50 1-2 cups pe year in Africa, here the reproductive rate could be higher due the to favorable conditions all year long plus the 100% survival rate of the cups due to the lack of predators, drought and illness.
Imagine destroying a entire ecosystem just to sale T-Shirts. Greed knows no face.
It's not only that. People are usually reticent t about killing them because they are already like the town's pets. They like them and see them as very adorable beings.
Is it greed or is it desperation on part of the humans?
@@blue_moon6490 Desperation can excuse literally anything. Stop making excuses and state a real reason they should stay, destorying the jungle.

Scientists: Lose the hippos or have entire eco system destroyed
Locals: no big water puppy cute ha ha
🤦🏿♂️
What’s funny is there are other scientists claiming the hippos are filling a niche that has been missing for thousands of years due to extinction of several species 🤷🏼♀️
Imagine Hannibal crossing the Alps with his Elephant troops and when he gets there the Romans have Hippos on Cocaine...
now that is funny
Lol 😂
Unofficial story of how the romans won the war.
I believe that is one of the theories on what happened to the 9th Legion.
Hippopotamus is Greek for Water Horse.
They also faced off against elephants firstly against a Greek called Pyrus of Epirus.
Pablo still disturbing the government😂
Actually the current government party and almost every person linked to it has ties to Pablo and drug cartels. Look up for information about Paola Holguin or the Uribe's "tranquilandia" helicopter or how one general mourned "alias Popeye" when that criminal died.
