The hippos live across a large area.
They are territorial and aggressive.
Experts say sterilization alone is not enough to control the growth of the invasive animals.
The government announced in March that it is planning to possibly move the animals to other countries.
Muhamad said Colombian officials have contacted officials in Mexico, India, and the Philippines, and they are considering a plan to send 60 hippos to India.
"We are working on the protocol for the export of the animals," she said.
"We are not going to export a single animal if there is no authorization from the environmental authority of the other country."
As a last means to control the population, the ministry is creating a protocol to euthanize the animals.
A group of hippos was brought in the 1980s to Hacienda Napoles.
The place was Escobar's private zoo.
Now it receives many visitors after his death in 1993.
Most of the animals live freely in rivers there and reproduce without control.
The people of the nearby Puerto Triunfo have become used to hippos sometimes walking freely around the town.
