Egypt is a country that has a nature really enviable, since in the African country you can find a great variety of landscapes and incredible biodiversity, even in its most inhospitable deserts.
Also today we want to talk more than walk about a animal which can no longer be found within Egypt, but that when it was it was very important for the diverse cultures of the place, the hippopotamus.
It happens that these huge animals although they were not sacred in the Ancient Egypt, they were very respected by all cultures, for its immense power and dangerousness, since despite their tender appearance, they are one of the most violent animals in the world, which added to their immense strength makes them extremely dangerous animals.
Formerly, hippos inhabited almost the entire Nile, but with the passage of time, and the actions of the human being, these animals have been slowly displaced to the center of Africa, until reaching the point that it has been confirmed that in Egypt no hippopotamus lives in the wild anymore.
