Pablo Escobar's hippos have been offered a new home in India. 
 
Anant Ambani - son of Asia's richest man Mukesh Ambani - has said he is "willing to receive and care for" a herd of hippos linked to notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar at his private Vantara zoo in India's Gujarat state.
 
Escobar, who was shot dead by police in 1993, illegally imported exotic animals, including a male and a female hippopotamus - dubbed the "cocaine hippos".
 
Colombia has not commented on the offer.
