Here is a picture of an animal with one horn (uni-corn).

Most modern translators believe that the word translated as "unicorn" in the King James version is more likely a type of wild cattle rather than a rhinoceros.

Christians don't read their bible, or at least don't understand what is in it.
Numbers 23
23:22 God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.
Numbers 24
24:8 God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.
Deuteronomy
33:17 His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.
The mistranslation occurred in KJB:
39:9 Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?
39:10 Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?
39:11 Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?
39:12 Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn?
Here are the last two unicorn statements:
Psalm
92:10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
Isaiah
34:7 And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.

Did the Bible mention unicorns? Yes. Therefore they must have existed then.

The word is in the bible, but not the description, it is probably not the cute little creatures we see in girls toys.

That is one of many mistranslations in the Christian Bible.
