There was a hippo right between Upper and Lower Egypt. He united them but paid the ultimate price in doing so.
The country united to fight the hippos after his death
tbf, it seems like his relationship with animals was really hit or miss:
Diodorus Siculus recorded a story of Menes related by the priests of the crocodile god Sobek at Crocodilopolis, in which the pharaoh Menes, attacked by his own dogs while out hunting fled across Lake Moeris on the back of a crocodile and, in thanks, founded the city of Crocodilopolis.
It became famous as the Great Hippo War.
Damn you were the great hippo war? o_O
🤣 TY. Corrected.
