zReportage.com Issue #1015 Story of the Week: Published: TUESDAY November 25, 2025: 'Cocaine Hippos' Drug Lords Lasting Legacy Photography and Story by ZUMA Press photographer Zoraida Diaz: In the late 70's, the drug baron smuggled 4 of the huge creatures into South America for his private estate. And they have been multiplying ever since. Escobar's hippos were never intended to represent anything beyond his wealth and ambition. Yet after his death in 1993, and the abandonment of Hacienda Napoles estate, these four animals survived. They escaped or were released into the wild, finding the Magdalena River and its tributaries to be an ideal habitat. With year-round fresh water, abundant grazing lands, and critically, an absence of natural predators, the hippo population exploded exponentially. Environmental officials advocate for translocation of hippos to facilities with proper resources, while some locals, particularly those profiting from tourism, argue against eradication.

zReportage.com Issue #1014 Story of the Week: Published: TUESDAY November 18, 2025: 'Everyone Will Fight' by ZUMA Press photographer in Ukraine Francisco Richart: Civilians in Sumy city in Ukraine are under increased drone attacks as the Russian military increase strikes in the region. Just 25 miles from the border with Russia, Sumy is home to an estimated 200,000 people, the vast majority civilians who have continued living there during Russia's war, with many civilians taking up arms. Ukraine has made no secret of the urgent need to recruit more people as it tries to defend itself against the Russian aggression. Estimates speak of hundreds of thousands of casualties on both sides of the conflict since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022. Russia has captured several settlements in the region and now appears to be within artillery range of Sumy city as they attempt to gain further territory with drones and rockets causing death and destruction across a wide area. These indiscriminate attacks have wreaked havoc on civilian life yet many residents choose to stay and fight to defend their homeland. Welcome to 'Everyone Will Fight'
