Yes there was a Unicorn, didn't you see the Simpson's episode.
Yes to a dragon also, probably was a Komodo Dragon.

No one can answer your question with 100% accuracy. There is no mention of Unicorn in the Bible which has the only reference for the Garden of Eden. You could use your imagination, and imagine when God brought all the animals which were in the Garden before Adam, and what ever Adam called them thus were they called. Imagine that God did bring a unicorn before Adam and Adam said,"This is a Unicorn" So it was called as such. Since there is a word in the dictionary or in our language that refers to the word unicorn, then unicorn's existence may very well be possible. One can ask:"Where did the word unicorn come from?" Otherwise may be there was a Unicorn.

actually, the words dragon and dinosaur have similar meanings. Both mean "terrible lizard" or "large reptile."
I would say that dragons are an old name for dinosaurs.
There are too many ancient depictions in glyphs and on pottery around the planet to ignore this possiblity. Also, Marco Polo wrote about very large reptiles used in various places in the orient. One area, according to Polo, raised large reptiles to pull wagons and chariots.
As for unicorns as we think of unicorns, I would say that it was either a rhino or other animal with a single horn. The Bos primigenius (primitive ox) is a species that is now extinct. It's another possibility. Auerochs was the name given by the Germans. Caesar described it in Gal. Bel., vi.28 as inhabiting the Hercynian forest. There's a word in an Assyrian inscription that lends to this idea as well.

no, dragon myths became "alive" when ancient tribes found fossils of t-rexes and pterodactles. they assumed it was a great winged beast. also, the bible mentions that the snake once had legs, and satan took the form of a biblical snake after being cast out of heaven for wanting to overthrow God. He and other angels grouped together and his followers became his "demons". Then temting Eve to eat the forbidden fruit. Afterwards, the snake lost its legs and was forced to slither for all etirnenty.
i am pretty sure that the closest thing to a unicorn was a horse or a zebra. Maybe they saw a side view of some animal with horns and assumed they saw a beast with a single horn that somehow evolved into the myth of the unicorn.
same way the myth of mermaids became real. the sailors that saw a manatee.

The dragon was the lizard in the tree that tricked the woman to eat of the forbidden fruit. He lost His legs as a consequence. Now He is only a venomous snake.
There is also a fire-breathing dragon of the sea described in the book of Job.
There is also a unicorn description. I don't what animal would be the unicorn. To be lifted up, wild bull & unicorn are definitions of the Hebrew word, RAM.
I believe the unicorn is a type of ram.

No unicorn but there was a dragon. That old dragon that was cast out of Heaven to the Earth called the devil and Satan. See your bible or check out the site below to look up the exact quote. No other dragons though.

The word unicorn in the Bible doesn't mean a horse with a horn in it's head, it is another word for bison. Dragon's aren't real either.

I'm afraid those are just mythological figures. The garden of Eden, just like stated in Genesis (Bible) included all known animals and the first human beings.:)

This is just a fairy tale. It is not supposed to be taken as literal history. It's borrowed Babylonian mythology that the Jews learned during the Exile. How do we know it's not real? You have Adam, Eve, Cain & Abel. Cain offs Abel, then he is kicked out and gets a wife? From what population? He expresses fear that whoever finds him might kil1 him. Thre are clearly more people out there!
Unicorns, as we understand them, never existed. The idea came from the bas-relief illustrations from Assyrian walls of wild oxen. Since it was a side view, only one of the two horns was visible, so it led to the idea of a beast with one horn that eventually became the horse-like fantasy creature with a narwhal tusk coming out of his forehead.
