The "myth" was apparently not one of fable, but of fact. The Greeks, and other cultures, had piecemeal accounts of a one-horned creature that they believed to be an actual animal. This may have stemmed from reports about the rhinoceros, or possibly accounts of one-horned ox or buffalo.
Around the 17th century, others began speculating about the creature. Marco Polo had described a rhinoceros in his writings, and fossil evidence erroneously suggested a two-legged version. Other investigators point to the bull-like Elasmotherium as a source for the more "horse-like" uncorn.

Rhinos are scientifically placed in the group of pachyderm. but people once thought of them in the same familly as horses in error. It is possible they inspired the unicorn myth but it is unlikely, since they look so different.
