its great that you belive in fantacy but actually they are not true!!
The unicorn is a legendary creature usually depicted with the body of a horse, but with a single – usually spiral – horn growing out of its forehead (hence its name – cornus being Latin for 'horn')
Though the popular image of the unicorn is that of a white horse differing only in the horn, the traditional unicorn has a billy-goat beard, a lion's tail, and cloven hooves, which distinguish him from a horse.[1] Marianna Mayer has observed (The Unicorn and the Lake), "The unicorn is the only fabulous beast that does not seem to have been conceived out of human fears. In even the earliest references he is fierce yet good, selfless yet solitary, but always mysteriously beautiful. The Unicorn is the uncatchable creature, and his single horn was said to neutralize poison."
In medieval lore, the alicorn, the spiraled horn of the unicorn, is said to be able to heal and neutralize poisons. This virtue is derived from Ctesias's reports on the unicorn in India, that it was used by the rulers of that place to make drinking cups that would de-toxify poisons.
Though the qilin (麒麟, Chinese), a creature in Chinese mythology, is sometimes called "the Chinese unicorn", it is a hybrid animal that is less unicorn than chimera, with the body of a deer, the head of a lion, green scales and a long forwardly-curved horn. The Japanese "Kirin", though based on the Chinese animal, is usually portrayed as more closely resembling the Western unicorn than the Chinese qilin.

Ofcourse. Ever seen the slightly disturbing animated film The Last Unicorn

I'm glad you believe in them. It's certainly not hurting anyone else for you to do so. I think that there are different levels of reality. Sometimes, even though something might not be truly present, you can believe in the spirit of it, and that IS real. To me, unicorns represent innocence and adventure and magic and individuality and hope. So, in that sense, the spirit of the unicorn is real.

I do believe in Unicorns. And Pegasus and all the other ones that are too numerous to mention. It makes life interesting.
I think that I once saw a Phoenix though. It could have just been a red parrot but, well, I don't think so.

The unicorn did exist. The Bible mentions it in Psalms 91.

Yes. But in real life the rhinoceros is a unicorn. Far cry from our beautiful horse of mythology.

There's a celtic tune by the group "The Irish Rovers" called "The Unicorn." That tune explains it all. It's very cute...give it a listen!

Unicorns were in the Bible...so that is belief enough.
