In this episode, we discuss ‘Cocaine Hippos’ AKA the invasive hippos in South America that escaped from drug lord Pablo Escobar’s private zoo. He started out with four, now there are over 100 invasive hippos in South America. Joining me on the show to discuss these ‘Cocaine Hippos’ is scientist, Dr. Jonathan Shurin. He’s from the Section of Ecology, Behavior and Evolution at the University of California. Jonathan has been studying the ecological impact of these hippos and gives us some insight on these alien inhabitants!LA TIMES ARTICLE featuring Dr. Jonathan Shurin: https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2020-02-09/uc-san-diego-biologist-colombia-cocaine-hippos-pablo-escobarSupport the show! https://www.patreon.com/animalstothemaxFollow Corbin MaxeyWebsite: https://corbinmaxey.com YouTube: https://goo.gl/ZbuBnRInstagram: https://goo.gl/NDYWFF Twitter: https://goo.gl/F4zVfNFacebook: https://goo.gl/ZsE1SP TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/prvYxR/
