Unfortunately they do not exist. There is a type of whale with a long single tusk, and this tusk, found by explorers has been interpreted as a unicorn horn and had been displayed as such in medieval castles. Here is link to information about the unicorn whale: http://www.livescience.com/animalworld/051213_unicorn_whale.html
There is a theory that the discovery of certain fossils led to the invention of mythological creatures... and that they were just misinterpretations of the fossils. Like the fossil of elephant and mammoth skull in Greece are what spawned the tales of the giant cyclops:

So, finding a fossil of this kind of whale might have inspired the tales of unicorns.

Yes they do....The reason they haven't been seen by many for centuries is they are magical creatures that live in the magical realm. Sadly many people have lost the ability to tap into this realm. All it takes is an open mind and belief. Once upon a time all beings had the ability to enter the realm of magic. A place where you can chase a rainbow, hear leprucans play music, and see a unicorn romp across a field.

They might, remember that fish that everyone thought was extinct from dinosaur times? They just happened to find an area that's richly inhabited by these fish a few years ago. Maybe we just haven't found the right area of where all these mythical creatures live.

Hello dear!
Yes, they do exist!
A month ago, going to Africa, I photographed several of them! Similar also exist in many places, usually in cages.
Now we call them Rhinoceros an they have only one horn!
Enjoy!

Of course they do. They live in the magic forest with the dragons and centaurs. The reason we can't find the magic forest is because we don't smoke enough dope.

They do exist. The problem is you need a Virgin to find one. These sadly are getting to be in short supply. :)

Not anymore. I heard that Noah forgot to put them on the Ark.

it remains one of the great "unsolved mysteries" of the world. Despite the widely held belief in its existence, it has not been seen in centuries.
