Round 7: Tossup 6

One of these animals called the Petsuchos was held as the living symbol of a god worshipped at the cult center of Kom Ombo. A god with the head of this animal used a fish-trap to recover Horus’s hands. A being with this animal’s head was also part hippopotamus and part lion (15[1])and resides by a lake of fire. (15[1])A being with this animal’s head supposedly ate the (*) hearts (10[1])of those who failed the weighing of the heart and was (-5[1])named Ammit. Along with Khnum and Hapi, a god with this animal’s head was one of the primary Egyptian river gods. Egyptians depicted Sobek with the head of this animal. For 10 points, name this reptile associated with the Nile. ■END■ (10[1])
