Hippos, Intelligence, and Escobar's Legacy

This chapter delves into the unique intelligence of birds like ravens and contrasts it with the dangers posed by the unexpected population of hippos in Colombia, introduced by Pablo Escobar. It discusses the ecological implications of these hippos, including the challenges faced by the Colombian government in managing their growing numbers and the public's reaction to such measures. The narrative also humorously reflects on the intersection of crime, wildlife preservation, and the difficulties of controlling these invasive creatures.
