Real Unicorn found in Italian Nature Preserve

unicorn
That's right, a real live unicorn, in the form of a one horned deer has been spotted at in a nature preserve in Prato, Italy. The one year old deer was born in the Tuscan preserve which is located near the town of Florence and is one of a pair of twins. Scientists don't know why he only has one horn. It could possibly be because of a genetic abnormality or an injury in his early life. One thing is for sure. He proves that the myth could have had roots in reality. The animal's nickname, is, predictably, Unicorn.

Genetic Meandering of God

Interesting

But, like you said in the article, they were all probably due to genetic abnormalities causing these physical deformities and therefore the existence of unicorns may be true after all! We see such deformities in humans all the time, like extra limbs, head, fingers, toes, etc.. so why not in animals?

Great Picture

So the unicorn exists. Now we need a white deer with one horn and we are all set. What next? Flying pigs?

I like how the horn is all twisty like a "real" unicorn. I remember seeing a picture sort of like that as a child, I think it was a goat though. Hmmm, I wonder how many cults are going to grow on that poor deer...+1 for the proving a myth true:) Get Paid $$$ to Write!

Papiloma

I've read about that. It's a type of wart. Causes horny growths. This is a different thing, though. The deer would normally grow two horns, but for some reason this one just grew one right in the center. KM

Possible Virus

I was reading about mythical horned rabits yesterday and found out that there is a virus which can cause horn like growth in wildlife. It is called Shope Papilloma Virus
