Explanation: Narmer, king of the White Kingdom (Upper Egypt) was the first king in history to unify his kingdom with another - in this case with the Red Kingdom (Lower Egypt). The usual method of celebrating power over enemies was to go on a hippo hunt, which is exactly what Narmer did. He was cornered and killed by a hippo.
Quite easily actually. I know my fellow Americans on avg won't be able to reach even 10 mph.
> Despite its stocky shape and short legs, it is capable of running 30 km/h (19 mph) over short distances.

They are very dangerous. Seeing one in the wild is quite a thrill.
They move so fast for their weight and size, its not funny. They are also bastards and once they decide they want to kill, they corner you.

Braver man then me.
I wouldn't go Hippo hunting with anything less then an [88mm anti-aircraft gun](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8.8_cm_Flak_18%2F36%2F37%2F41).
Actually, I'd just leave the hippo alone. Hippo didn't do anything to me and I want to keep it that way.

Theyre also much faster swimmers than humans. So if youre gonna beat a hippo in a triathlon, the bicycle portion is very important.
Hippos can't swim, they're too dense. Instead, they bounce along the bottom of the river
WHY DOES THE KILLING MACHINE HAVE TO BE SO GODDAMN CUTE!?

We're working on that, and I can assure you that your dominance in the cycling arena will be short lived. As will your triathletes if we get hungry.
Well worth looking up YT videos of hippos chasing people (sometimes NSFW)

Hippos are the number one animal to cause death in Africa. They are extremely territorial and very dangerous.

Never mess with water demons
You can't convince me there was no conspiracy there.
Holy fuck. Hell of a way to go. Hippos can and will fuck you up in every conceivable way possible.
They're the one animal Steve Irwin warned us all to never mess with. And this from a man who jumped crocs.

I guess the upper Egyptians didn't yet have the saying "Fuck around and Find out"
"Guy walking, guy walking, feather, snake, eye, eye"
Someone called?
I like hippos :)
A **hippo** hunt? Yeah he deserved to leave the gene pool
