Now that's an animal you never want to come across in the wild. Extremely territorial and nasty.

Now that's an animal you never want to come across in the wild. Extremely territorial and nasty.

 

Kill more people in Africa than any other animal except the crocodile (and mosquito). And they don't have anything even remotely resembling a natural predator in Colombia...that has the potential to be an ecological disaster. (Or they can open safari hunting concessions to manage them, and make a boatload of cash).
