Best Answer

they are both alike because they both have the same bodies except for the horn on the unicorn because hoses dont have horns but the unicorn is colerful and the hoses is brown

Answer 2 : unicorns are actually more related to goats because the have their hooves that look like goat feet and they have goat beards. unicorns were actually a mistake. a farmer bred a horse and a goat together. same horse body, a few goat features, but the horn was the mistaken part.

Unicorns are first and foremost imaginarycreatures, animals out of myths and stories.

As such, they can be anything the storyteller wants them to be.

But since they're usually described as being basically a horse with a horn, and since there are no furry snakes or lizards, it seens unlikely that they would be reptiles if they would have existed.

No.
They are actually rhinos that have been mistaken for single-horned horses.



"Unicorns" were actually single-horned rhinos (the Indian Rhinoceros), which were used as beasts of war in ancient times. They were misinterpreted as a mythical creature.

The historical figure Genghis Khan documented that he called off the invasion of India due to witnessing 'terrible and brutal one-horned beasts ridden by man', which today we understand were War Rhinos, similar to War Elephants. They were also mentioned by an Ancient Greek called Ctesias.
The documents were misinterpreted, hence the myth of unicorns was born. When in reality, they were actually Indian Rhinos.

They might, but it wouldn't be by human hands. A unicorn could do that, or if the horse was a unicorn to begin with, but you cannot graft horns onto horse's heads.

Unicorns are mythical creatures, but like horses and goats they would likely be mammals if they existed. They are often portrayed as mammals in fiction.

Unicorns are their own speices. Horses resemble unicorns but unicorns are very different. One main difference is they have a horn on their head.
