Fun Information: In ancient Egyptian culture, Hippos, along with the crocodiles, were actually some of the most feared animals. Moreover, the evil god Set was thought to have turned into a hippopotamus in a skirmish with Horus, the sky god. As well, the female demon that devoured the souls of the dead if they did not pass judgment against Ma'at, Ammut, had the rear of a hippopotamus along with parts of other fearsome Egyptian creatures. In contrast however, Taweret, a female hippopotamus deity, was seen as the benevolent hippo goddess of fertility and childbirth. Because of her protective powers, she was one of the most popular goddesses of among expectant mothers as female hippos did not have the negative stigma that male ones did.
