The episode discusses the legacy of Pablo Escobar through the story of the cocaine hippos he imported to Colombia.

Pablo Escobar built a private empire filled with unimaginable wealth, violence, and excess... including a zoo imported from around the world and four hippopotamuses brought in from Africa. Decades after his death, those hippos escaped into Colombia’s Magdalena River and became one of the world’s strangest and most controversial invasive species.
