Anant Ambani, son of Anil Ambani, offered on Tuesday (April 28, 2026) to take hippos descended from those introduced to Colombia by drug kingpin Pablo Escobar, rather than have the animals killed.
Anant said he had formally requested the Colombian government to stay a decision to kill the animals, which have wreaked havoc on rivers in the South American nation.
