Unicorns as our stories tell of them never existed to begin with. There are a number of ideas of where the myth originated including sightings of still-living creatures such as Narwhals, rhinos, or the oryx (a type of antelope). Other suggestions of extinct animals include elasmotherium (a rhinoceros relative) and possibly an extinct species of goat. Sill, others have suggested that the myth comes from deer that, due to a genetic defect, only have one horn or antler.
