Story summary
- Anant Ambani revived an offer to relocate about 80 hippos to his Gujarat sanctuary, calling it a humane rescue.
- Colombia will cull about 80 of the 200 invasive hippos—descended from four animals Pablo Escobar imported in the 1980s—since sterilisation is too slow and the herd could exceed 1,000.
- Animal-rights groups condemn the cull and note that moving the two-ton hippos to India would cost over $4 million and face logistical hurdles.
