Pilky says "NO"
Actually, yes, there are, though they aren't native to South America. During the 1980s, a very wealthy drug lord named Pablo Escobar had more money than he knew what to do with, so he basically built a zoo on his property and flew in all kinds of exotic animals, including nine hippos.
In 1993, Escobar was shot and killed on a rooftop, and I guess since then, his private zoo hasn't been looked after quite as well as it once was. Three of these hippos, a bull named Pepe, his mate, Matilda, and their calf escaped in 2006. In 2009, Pepe was killed, but at that time Matilda and the calf were still at large and were frequently seen by many locals. The last I heard, they were still running around.
