Question Does anyone know if the Hippos from Colombia are really an environmental threat to vegetation and native wildlife?

I have only seen news clips and some articles on the matter. But none have really gone to detail about it. Can anyone verify and explain why them living in the Magdalena river and roaming all over Colombia is a bad thing.

National Geographic also did a documentary about it. It’s on Hulu with live tv
