I wouldn't bet my life on unicorns existing as a fact.

However - I'd bet everything I own and all of the money I'll ever make that no one can prove they do not exist.

Just making the statement that someone should even entertain the idea of proving something does not exist sends me into a fit of giggles at the levels of naivete.

I can't prove the Easter Bunny doesn't exist, but that does not make me believe in him.

I shot a unicorn

Early heraldry portrayed the unicorn as having cloven hooves and a goatee...

The tail, I can't account for.

I would rather have a griffon for a mount.

They can fly

Do they smell better?

They are like a lion with an eagle head and wings.They eat mostly horseflesh.Im not sure if they would smell better than a unicorn.Probably not

THE HIPPOI MONOKERATA were the swift-footed unicorns of the East. They were magnificent snow-white equines with a single, brightly-coloured horn rising from the middle of their foreheads. The Greeks also referred to them as Onoi Monokerata (One Horned Asses).

The fabulous unicorn of Medieval bestiaries was derived from this creature of Greek legend.

Now this is interesting Jeannie. Thank you for the information.

cool

Exactly. The obvious humors you does it?

So why is that?

I was talking to a Unicorn the other day. He told me that they don't exist

A great fantasy cartoon is called "The Last Unicorn"

A must watch for fantasy enthusiastics

Deuteronomy 33:17


This quote shows that "unicorns" (re'em) had more than one horn.

The "unicorn" (re'em) was most likely the auroch, an extinct species of wild ox that could not be tamed and was nearly the size of an elephant. This species went extinct in the 1600's. All we know of the Biblical "unicorn" is that it had one or two horns and it was large, powerful, aggressive and could not be tamed. How could the translators of the Bible effectively translate the word, if no similar creature existed in their experience?

There are lots of words that represent mythical creatures that have been translated various ways . . . its called imagination. I am afraid quite a bit of translation is done this way, "Fred the translator says, hmm not so sure about this one, but it looks kinda like this . . . well put that down and lets see if it makes sense . . . yep I imagine it does . . well ok!, then that's what they meant."

It can be done, now accuracy on a non existent creature might be a tough spot lol.

The efficacy of translations are only as good as the number and accuracy of distinct sources.

The oldest form of the Unicorn is the Chinese Ki-Lin, a one horned animal that is said to have appeared to the sage Fu Hsi about 3000 BC, emerging from the Yellow River.

It is the essence of all five elements the Confucious always preached.
