Left to fend for themselves after Pablo Escobar’s death, the Hippos in his hacienda eventually break free and reign supreme in surrounding Colombian lagoons and rivers. As the population grows, authorities struggle to eradicate these non-native species from a region where they definitely don’t belong. But not to fear, Jack has a genius solution to this incredibly complicated problem! Find out what it is on this week’s Extinction Event.
