Colombia on Tuesday began the sterilization of hippopotamuses, descendants of animals illegally brought to the country by late drug kingpin Pablo Escobar in the 1980s.
Two male hippos and one female underwent surgical sterilization, environmental authorities said. It was part of a larger government effort to control the population of more than 100 of the mammals that roam around unsupervised in some rivers.
The plan includes sterilizing 40 hippos each year, transferring some of them to other countries and, possibly, euthanasia.

Mr. Trump said in a Tuesday evening social media post that Israel had "agreed to the necessary conditions to finalize" a 60-day ceasefire, and he called on Hamas to accept the deal, warning the U.S.- and Israeli-designated terrorist group that "it will not get better — IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE."
