That is a charming fable. But actually, both unicorns and Noah's ark are fictitious.

Another answer:

The "fabled" unicorn [a white horse with the single horn protruding from its forehead] as most people think of it today... is not the "unicorn" mentioned in the King James Version of The Bible.

"God brought him [Israel] forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn..." (Num.24:8 KJV).

"Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?" (Job 39:9 KJV)

Of this "unicorn"... the Literal Bible[LIT] says of these and other such King James passages:

"Will consent to be THE WILD OX your servant or spend the night by your feed-trough?"

"the wild ox" (r'em; reh-ame'): "...a wild bull..." (Strong's Definitions).

Young's Bible [YGB] says: "Is a Reem willing to serve thee? Doth he lodge by thy crib?"

Darby's Bible [DRB] says: "Will the buffalo be willing to serve thee...".

The Living Bible [LVB] says: "Will the wild ox be your happy servant...".

So, it wasn't the fabled one-horned horse "unicorn" that Noah took [in male and female groups of "seven"] into the ark with him:

"Take along SEVEN PAIRS of each animal that I have approved for eating and for sacrifice, and take ONE PAIR of each of the others... There must be a male and a female in each pair to ensure that every kind of living creature will survive the flood." (Gen.7:2-3 NLT New Living Translation)

Yet, while the word "unicorn" doesn't survive the translations of the Bible beyond the King James Version... the name "Noah" does. And is verified by Jesus Christ and other passages in the New Testament.

"When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah's day." (Matt.24:37 NLT)

"...right up to the time Noah entered his boat." (verse 38).

"...Noah entered his boat and the flood came to destroy them all." (Luke 17:27 NLT)

"It was by Faith that Noah built an ark to save his family from the flood..." (Heb.11:7 NLT).

The world abounds with fables and mythical tales of unicorns, superheroes and many other fictitious things to entertain both child and adult alike these days.

The Bible, however [which much of the world today also "believes" to be a compilation of myths and fables], tells us that God's Word is TRUTH [John 17:17]. It tells us that Noah built an ark to survive that flood.

But the "unicorns" of the "King James Version" of the Bible that Noah took into the ark with him were actually, according to the originally inspired manuscripts, "wild oxen" or "wild bulls." They were not left behind... and they still roam the earth today.
