Pablo Escobar's Home - Hacienda Napoles
When he was a drug lord, Escobar built a palatial estate in Colombia which he called Hacienda Napoles. He maintained a private zoo, at the home, which also included reconstructed dinosaurs. In addition to other animals, he imported a herd of hippos.
This clip, from a National Geographic film on Escobar, pays a visit to his once impressive estate and tracks what happened to the hippos.
Today, Escobar's former home is a theme park which attracts about 50,000 visitors a year.
