Anant Ambani, the son of Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani, has made a renewed offer to rescue 80 hippos descended from those brought to Colombia by drug lord Pablo Escobar. These hippos, which have become an environmental menace in Colombia, are facing a culling by authorities due to their growing population, which exceeds 200. Ambani's Vantara animal sanctuary in Gujarat, India, aims to provide a safe haven for the animals, emphasizing their status as 'living, sentient beings.' However, Vantara has faced criticism over allegations of unethical sourcing and wildlife trafficking, raising questions about its suitability for housing hippos. Despite these concerns, Ambani claims the sanctuary has the necessary expertise and infrastructure to care for the hippos, which could cost over $4 million to relocate. The logistics of capturing and transporting the hippos remain a significant challenge, as they weigh around two tonnes each and live in the wild. The Colombian government has been approached for permission to facilitate this translocation, which is seen as a complex and costly endeavor.
