Do unicorns live in earth and are real?

There is no proof that unicorns actually exist or existed.

The first ever idea of unicorns came from cave paintings dating back to 15,000BC, which depicted horned animals. The discoverers initially thought the animals in the cave paintings had one horn, due to the small drawings and weathering to them over the years. But it has in fact since been shown that the animals in the paintings had two horns and are likely to be paintings of antelopes, whose bones were also found in the caves.

Unicorns were also mentioned in Ancient Greek literature by Ctesias, who gave them the name "Unicorn", but it has since been found that he was actually describing an Indian Rhinoceros, also known as the one-horned rhinoceros. This was further confirmed when Genghis Khan wrote 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.

How much does a unicorn's horn weight?

Firstly, kilometres are a measure of distance, not weight.

Secondly, nobody knows, because unicorns are mythical creatures and no proof of a unicorn ever existing has been found.


For a rough answer - a unicorn would probably weigh about the same as a horse.

Does a unicorn make a good pet?

The thing about unicorns as pets...The main problem with having a unicorn as a pet is that they are just like a horse, only with a horn, which makes them a formidable opponent when they are angered. My aunt was gored by her adored pet unicorn, Mr. Fluffydoodles, when i was just a young boy, which perhaps was caused by his resentment of his stupid name. Another issue with keeping unicorns as pets is that they are smarter than your average three-year-old, so they often begin to get angry at their extended imprisonment and look for ways to escape. However, if you can get them to love you, they will be quite happy in the family home. Another thing to consider is that unicorns are big, so they're hard to keep in the house, but if you put them in an ordinary stable they can be stolen by jealous people who wish to have their very own unicorns. Keeping them in the backyard is a viable solution to this problem - however, be sure to look up the rules for the keeping of exotic livestock in your town. And whatever you do, DON'T name your unicorn something humiliating and demeaning. It'll gore you. I promise.

Why do unicorns have horns?

The prefix 'uni' stands for unus or one. The suffix 'corn' stands for cornus or refers to the horn on the unicorn's head. Therefore, the name comes from 'one horn'.
Uni, means "one", and cornus is the latin word for horn. So unicorn means single horned. So it is a one-horned horse.

Uni- from the latin word 'unus' meaning one (eg unicycle- one wheel). Corn-from the latin word 'cornus' meaning horn, so unuscornus, unicorn, one horn.

Is a unicorn an anorexic rhino?

"Unicorns" always were rhinos. "Unicorns" in the sense of mythical horned horses have never existed.

"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.

How do unicorns reproduce?

Presumably a unicorn, which is a mythical creature that looks exactly like a horse with a single horn growing out of its forehead, moves just the way horses do. The horn would not change the way it moves. Different stories about unicorns sometimes vary in their descriptions.

But they all move by using their legs.

The word 'unicorn' also appears nine times in the King James (1611) version of the Bible.

(i.e. Deut 33:17; Numbers 23:22, 24:8; Job 39:9,10; Psalm 22:21, 29:6, 92:10; Isaiah 34:7) It is believed that the original Hebrew words refer to the wild ox, as the later Revised Versions render it. (See the New International Version and other translations)

If it is the wild ox that is being referred to in these bible verses, it also moves ... by moving its legs!

Is there any proof that unicorns exist?

Answer

Never mind proof, there is no evidence that unicorns exist (or existed) at all. In the philosophy of science there is no such thing as proof, only refutation or the build-up of supportive evidence. Narwhals and oryx are often implicated to explain the inspiration with which humans conjured the unicorn myth. But narwhals and oryx (the silhouette of which looks like a single horned animal) are not unicorns. Evolutionarily, there is presumably nothing to stop a perissodactyl (horses, tapirs and rhinoceroses) evolving a horn. If rhinoceroses have horns, perhaps the horse family can too. The fact is that the horse family just doesn't (and never did as far as we know) have horns.
