The cats are the most sacred animals of all Ancient Egyptians Animals. It was common to see cats around Egypt and for households to have a pet cat. It is believed that cats are the descendants of Bast, the goddess of moonlight and fertility.

The Nile crocodiles were giant and aggressive animals that would claim the lives of many civilians. This caused the crocodile to be given divine status in the hope that worshipping the crocodile God would keep them safe and secure from crocodile attacks. The Egyptian deity associated with the Nile crocodile was Sobek, represented either in the form of a crocodile or as a human with a crocodile head.
