Pablo Escobar with drugs

Pablo Escobar is a name that has been tried to be forgotten in Colombia for the past 30 years. The most notorious criminal, he was the founder of a drug network in the 1980s and was once known as one of the richest people in the world.
      Escobar is also remembered for the violence he committed in violating Colombian laws, including kidnappings, bombings and assassinations. But the cocaine smuggler is being linked by scientists to what they call an explosive biological bomb. A group of whips who were brought by Escobar into private reserves decades ago, and have now increased. According to scientists, the rodents are found in all parts of the country along the Magdalena River.
        In an article published in the journal Biological Conservation, released on January 17, it states that a team of scientists claimed that decimating the animals was the only solution to conservation. "The facts are clear that they feel sorry for these animals, but scientists should just be honest," Colombian biologist Nataly Castellanos, one of the authors, told the BBC. 
     "These rodents were brought to Colombia and if we do not kill part of the animals now, if we fail to control them the situation could get worse within 10 or 20 years." Growth problem The emergence of these popular cocaine hippos is linked to the assassination of Pablo Escobar by a Colombian security force in 1993.
