Wildlife officials in Colombia are grappling with a giant problem in the form of a herd of feral hippos that has grown to epic proportions.
The monstrous creatures arrived in the country by way of the infamous drug lord Pablo Escobar, who had four hippos secretly brought to his ranch as part of his collection of exotic animals.
After he had been brought to justice, however, the hippos managed to escape and made their way to a nearby river.
From the initial four that fled, there are now believed to be an astounding 40 of the enormous animals and likely even more on the way as the creatures keep reproducing.
