Again, the inhabitants of the corregimiento of Doradalin the municipality of Triumph Port (Magdalena Medio Antioqueño) were crossed with hippos wandering the streets.

For people, this situation is normal, because it has occurred several times. This happens because there are several neighborhoods in the municipality that are very close to a stream where the animals live.

They just sent me this video. Hippos in Doradal (Antioquia) It is urgent that @MinAmbienteCo rule on it to verify its authenticity. If true, it is an inadmissible situation that reflects the terrible management that has been given to this species for decades. pic.twitter.com/BsBAL1qjf1

According to the experts, the hippos make routes looking for food, they do not have a fixed course, they go looking for food and the ravine is their mobility route, whenever they want; they go out

However, it is best not to approach them, as they are usually very territorial and aggressive. In addition, they have the ability to run faster than any human and to kill if they manage to bite.
