The Church View:
The strange creatures described in the Bible are either visions or just overstated or excited descriptions of normal animals
The Bible View:
The strange creatures described in the Bible are clearly described in a natural context and appear with the accurate descriptions of other well-known creatures.
Unicorns
Numbers 23:22 God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.
Numbers 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.
Job 39:10 will he harrow the valleys after thee? 11 Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him? 12 Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn?
Psalms 22:21 Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.
Psalms 29:6 He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.
Psalms 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.

Iwould like to think so! But it's said that they were to shy to enter the Ark. this is not Biblical however. Biblically...NO! Also many people believe that Noah never could have built an Ark large enough to accommodate two of each species of animal on the planet at that time. Let us consider that in biblical times there was no cross breeding an there were fewer species of animals. I do believe if God commanded him to do it...it was done! also the Ark has been found (as predicted in the Bible about end times) only man can not safely retrieve it!!! It does however sit close to the top of a mountain. Let us not forget it has been 2000+ years, it was bound to break up and move about with the Earth's movements as well.

It reads of one in Revelations. Some thing like a Unicorn attacking the ram. Breaking the rams horns and it's horn, then growing 4 little horns.
Hoped this helped.

Unfortunately, the Unicorns were behind the Velociraptors in line to get aboard Noah's Ark, and the Velociraptors got hungry.

Deuteronomy 33:17 KJV: "17His 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 New International Version translates it "the wild ox." Who knows what those early seventeeth century translators were thinking.

Not at all. If they did, you'd figure there would still be some around.
In fact, mythology states that there's only one of each version of unicorn. Pegasus, with wings, and the unicorn, with a horn.

In English translations the word unicorn is used. It's from the Hebrew "re'em," which translates better as "one horn." Not only are there one-horned beasts around today, archaeology has uncovered evidence of one-horned oxen in ancient Mesopotamia.

As if it did, unicorns would be more shocking than...animals that talk, bushes that go up in flames that do not burn, bread falling from the sky, a big ghost guy killing a bunch of egyptians, water turning into blood, water turning into wine, a guy being swallowed by a whale and living, a guy being hung and raising up from the dead, numerous other guys being raised from the dead, the moon turning into blood, and many other fairy tale imaginative nonsense???
