Unicorn Spotted in Italy!

Small children have always wanted to see a real, living unicorn. Today their dreams could come true! Although it is not a horse, and it is not white, it still has a horn on its head. This fictional creature which is a single-horned deer was spotted in an Italian natural reserve.

The Roe deer which was born near Florence has a gene anomaly: instead of having two horns, like his twin brother, the one year-old Roe deer has a single horn, making him look like a mythical creature, commonly found in legends and stories.

According to Italian specialists, the legend of the unicorn may have come from a similar anomaly. Other one-horned deers do exist, but they are rare and their horns isn’t usually placed on the middle of their head.

The mythological creature is thousands of years old and it is spread like Chinese whispers. Now that the unicorn has been spotted? Which legendary creature is next to be seen? Who knows, maybe a dragon?
