Colombia: Pablo's hippos

While in Medellin last year, I took a drive out to the Hacienda Napoles, the ranch home and zoo that belonged to cocaine boss Pablo Escobar during his heyday in the 1980s. What a weird place.

I profiled what I saw.

Now comes the news from Colombian officials that they gunned down an escaped hippo. The weirdness doesn't stop.
