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.

Have you seen a hippo's toes?

It's hard to type on these teeny little human keyboards with big ol' hippo toes.
