When did unicorns exist?

Answer 1

They didn't. Unicorns are fables and fiction

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

It was the late Henri Bergson who in 1953 traveled by carriage from France to the Germanic lands and discovered in the Black Forest the once-thought mythical horse.


At the time he was 43 and rising on the fame of his previous discoveries in the jungles of South America. His return to Europe was to signal one of the greatest cryptozoological finds of this century.


From the village of Durnfels, spurned on and inspired by the local lore of the peasants, he trekked Into the Woods and as soon as was convenient and unsafe he stepped off the trail, away from his drooling dimwitted guides and equal mules, and scratched a path through the uncharted spaces of the forest. He bled from briars and the branches which seemed progressively to sharpen the deeper and faster he walked. He went for days on little sunlight and few provisions. A moss grew about his eyes and beetles laid eggs in his beard.


It was by the second week and the scabbing of his wounds that he found tracks of hooves in country no horse or family thereof could sustain. He followed these prints even through the wide pipes of rotting logs, inferring from these signs that the same horse was changing size-geometrically, impossibly-for no reason of survival, maybe even on a whim. He discounted the possibility of an offspring, searched for hours at individual sites for multiple sets of prints, and concluded based on this evidenced playfulness that he was following a beast of fables.


One afternoon having crossed a meadow-the only direct and strong sunshine he'd felt in a timeless period-when he reentered the woods he found an oaktree score as by a hand drill. It was even slightly warm.


By the next day he was inside its magic, his weary limbs felt lighter, his thirst disappeared, he didn't think of hunger. Bark like flesh sustained his flesh.


He found an ample stream that slowed as it filled the basin of a pool. Its mineral concentration was extremely high, rarely so, and of a substance to him unknown and to the world governments likely undiscovered. It was orange and carbonated and sweetish. Though he had at this point no paper left and his pen had been recycled during a crisis of tools, he named the pool and the spring that must have been feeding it its character. The name he bestowed to it was Fanta, a noun of the Old German that meant Godly Resource.

Unicorns are spanish horses with spanish blood. They have a corny growth on their forhead. They are in Spain, a family friend of ours has seen one there. People don't believe in them because of the myth's charateristics, for example a lion's tail. They are just regular Andalusian horses that are RARELY born with a horn. THEY ARE REAL
