Bogotá, Colombia. Un hipopótamo bebé descendiente de los ejemplares que fueron introducidos en Colombia por el narcotraficante Pablo Escobar murió el miércoles, tras ser rescatado en estado de desnutrición, informó una corporación ambiental a la AFP.

El animal, que tenía unos 15 días de nacido, fue hallado sin su madre el jueves por pescadores a orillas de un río. Estaba escondido entre arbustos en una zona rural del departamento de Antioquia.
