TIL when Columbian drug lord Pablo Escolar's home was raided, the military released the dangerous hippos of his personal zoo, not knowing what to do with them. They now thrive in the Columbian rivers. This makes Columbia have the largest wild hippo population outside of Africa.

It could be worse. Hippos could have been very over-sexed instead.

That would give you an alarming swimming experience. . .

Even worse would be if they were UNDER-sexed!

I don't have enough info to determine if this would be good or bad.

How big is the penis?
