What animals were considered the most dangerous in ancient Egypt?

In ancient Egypt there were many predatory animals dangerous to humans. Domestic dogs were buried in collars so that they could walk with them in the afterlife. Hunting hippos was also a very dangerous business. A hungry hippopotamus could easily turn over a hunters boat.

Who had pets?

Rich Egyptians brought pets. These were mainly dogs and cats, but if someone wanted to show off in front of acquaintances, he would make himself a monkey.

Today in Egypt there are no lions, no hippos. But in ancient times there were many of them. And here lived ibis and hoopoe. They are preserved in Egypt to this day. The ancient Egyptians went on a duck hunt with the whole family. The birds were shot down with sticks, something like boomerangs. But unlike boomerangs, sticks did not fly back.

What did the ancient Egyptians call cats?

Cats in ancient Egypt called miu - very similar to "meow"? It is possible that the ancient Egyptians were the first to domesticate them. Cats were used to exterminate mice in grain barns. The ancient Egyptians hunted ostriches for the sake of large lush feathers on their tail. From these feathers they made beautiful fans for rich people.
