"The unicorn (from Latin unus 'one' and cornus 'horn') is a legendary creature whose power is exceeded only by its mystery.The unicorn is a horse-type animal with a single horn. Though the modern popular image of the unicorn is sometimes that of a horse differing only in the horn on its forehead, the traditional unicorn has a billy-goat beard, a lion's tail, and cloven hooves, which distinguish him from a horse.[1] Marianna Mayer has observed (The Unicorn and the Lake), "The unicorn is the only fabulous beast that does not seem to have been conceived out of human fears. In even the earliest references he is fierce yet good, selfless yet solitary, but always mysteriously beautiful. He could be captured only by unfair means, and his single horn was said to neutralize poison."

Yes, actually they are.
However, the unicorns that we know today (the pretty white ones with a pure horn that seem to prance in meadows) do not exist. Back in Biblical times unicorns did exist. They were a two horned wild ox that once lived in Syria. This ox is now extinct. It's scientific name is Bos primigenius, and, sadly, it does have two horns.
Therefore both you and your grandmother are correct. The unicorn that is common today is simply a fairy tale. However, at one point there was an animal that was called a unicorn.

Your grandma. There are no unicorns. There is also no Santa Claus, no Easter Bunny, no fairies, and no god. Sorry to dissapoint, but eventually you have to face reality.

unicorns are real, its a proven fact. who proved it? i did
2007-03-31 4:07 am
Unicorns are real. I fact I have bred a unicorn and I ride it everyday. It goes on well with my pet dragon, who is the resident cook in the family. Oh, and did I tell you about my dodo?

Mountain Gorillas were a myth and legend until the 20th century.
coelacanth.... thought to be extinct for 65 million years - discovered in the 20 th century.
Vu Quang Ox .... only became known to science in 1992!
and the okapi!!!! newly discovered in the 20th century - here's a picture: http://www.flinknet.com/theflink/archives/okapi.jpg
Who knows if your Unicorns are hiding somewhere on this planet or not? No one. Keep believing what ever you want - you may get the last laugh ;)

unicorns are in the Bible and other religious text, so if you believe them then yes.
2007-03-31 4:05 am
Depends on what reality you live in!
2007-03-31 4:47 am
they arev very real, they just found the first one in africa with many zebras .lions tigers and bears oh woh!
2014-09-10 11:31 pm
They are definitely real. Well there extinct. Why is it so weird for a horse to have a horn and it isn't weird for a whale to have one? A narwhale.
2014-07-02 6:47 am
NK sure thinks so, they claim to have fossils
2007-04-03 12:16 am

ITS POSSIBLE!!!!

RHINOS EXIST AND THEY HAVE ONE HORN IN THEIR FOREHEAD IF YOU ELIMINATE THE PRETTY WHITE HORSE WITH A HORN IN THE MIDDLE OF IT'S FOREHEAD AND REPLACE IT WITH A GREY OR WHITE HERBIVORE WITH A NASTY REPUTATION AND A GREAT SIZE YOU HAVE YOUR CANDIDATE FOR UNICORN IN AFRICA IF THEY ARE NOT EXTINCT YOU COULD SAY UNICORNS EXIST STILL TODAY

Well, if you want to get technical.....
The word "unicorn" means 'one horn'. So, if there was a cow, for example, with only one horn you could call it a unicorn for that reason. In this case, yes they can exist...
But if you are really refering to the mytical magical horse with a single, straight horn growing from it;s forhead, then no... they are only mythical - not real.

unicorns are just a horse with a horn on its head whats so great about that? you know narwhals DO exist and they are like a whale with a unicorn horn on its head
2007-03-31 4:14 am
Common now. Horses are real. Add a horn to it or add a set of wings to it and call it something else.
2007-03-31 4:06 am
no people found out that unicorn horns were form narwhales
2007-03-31 4:06 am
No they are not real but they exist in our world of make believe.
2007-03-31 4:05 am
Nah, theyre not real.
I wish they were too though.

granny is right
2007-03-31 4:10 am
You have to put the pipe down now, it's getting serious. Try and remember the fried egg commercial, unicorns are not real and alcohol does not preserve you. Babydove seemed like such a nice name too......
2007-03-31 4:06 am
Listen 2 ur granma little gal! :)
2007-03-31 4:06 am

Wow. . .how old are you?
2007-03-31 4:05 am
They are, I played leapfrog with one once for a hit of crack. Ouch! I couldn't smoke for a week!
2007-03-31 4:05 am
No, unicorns are mythical (that means the only exist in stories)
2007-03-31 4:05 am
No.
2007-03-31 4:38 am
Give your Grandma an "A", she is right.
2007-03-31 4:19 am

i hate to break it to you, but no. The Far Side comic strip says that the two unicorns on Noah's arc were eaten by lions, making them extinct, but i doubt there were unicorns before the flood, either.
2007-03-31 4:09 am
I am sorry, but unicorn probably is an legendary creature.
2007-03-31 4:08 am
your grandma is correct hunny there are not freakin unicorns, no santa, no easter bunny, no willy wonka sorry but lets get off the short bus and take a step back into the real world.
2007-03-31 4:05 am
What is real?
How do you define real?
