Unicorn deer found











Source: Associated Press

A mythical unicorn has been found in a nature park in Italy, but this one's not the usual white-horse type, it's a deer! Yes, a deer with one horn in its head has been discovered, and it has been nicknamed 'Unicorn'. It was born in captivity in a research centre in Italy, but apparently noone has ever seen it before; I think because the wildlife park is so big. Scientists think the deer was born with a "genetic flaw" [Associated Press], but I think it's a blessing. I'm almost jealous.

As we all know, the unicorn is "a horse-like creature with magical healing powers" [Associated Press] and an all-round good omen. Well I believe that a lot of mythical creatures are actually real in some form, but they're either undiscovered or elsewhere on the time-space continuum. This might be one of those cases where we have discovered an animal that we thought was just a fantasy, but it's just not like how the movies make out. I wonder if anyone ever claimed to have seen a unicorn and described what it looked like, well now we know!!!
