Do you belive that Unicorns once roamed this world at one time?

Yes,even my science teacher does,but she says they didn't have a big horn. I think they did but I wonder why they all died.

hi there no I do not think so. BUT AS A CHILD I like unicorns but as a christain no longer.
It is a common misconception that a Unicorn is simply a white horse with a single horn growing from its forehead. In fact a Unicorn is something altogether different from a horse. Unicorns do appear very similar to horses, a very noble creature in its own right, but the Unicorn has some very unique physical differences from a horse. For one, the tail is usually similar to that of a lion's, being long and slender with a tuft of hair at the end, and some flowing strands lining the length of the tail. The Unicorn has a "beard" upon it's chin, much like that of a goat, as well as having cloven hooves, also much like a goat. Now I do not proclaim that the majestic beast that is the Unicorn is merely a glorified goat, hardly, but rather it seems to have evolved from the melding of the two creatures, which would lead sensibly to the appearance of the single horn, which of course is what truly makes the Unicorn the creature of myth and magic that it has become today.
Folklore and Fairy Tales
For over two thousand years the Unicorn has held a place in the hearts of men, inspiring some, and mystifying others. The earliest known account of a Unicorn comes from a Greek doctor named Ctesias around 400 B.C. Being a Court Physician for the King of Persia he did much traveling over the vast Persian Empire and no doubt saw and heard many stories of fantastical creatures, which he wrote about in books, now mostly lost. The stories of Ctesias were heard and read by people from all over the ancient world, some of which wrote their own tales of magical beasts and creatures of fairy dreams. And so the Unicorn was given birth, through the imagination and wonder of man.

Unicorns have been invented with the help of individuals who questioned how cool it would be to have a land animal that had extra horns than a horse yet fewer than a cow. they had in no way heard of a rhinoceros, so as that they imagined something wimpy and stupid. actually, whilst a narwhal is a valuable version to an ocean environment, unicornity is adaptively no longer so good as bicornism in land mammals under a undeniable length. A life type has to have the flexibility to reliably reproduce fertile offspring interior the ambience it lives in, so no longer all available life varieties will upward thrust up as a species. The geological record of course shows that the dinosaurs died out 1000's of tens of millions of years in the previous human beings developed.

I've heard two versions of why unicorns dont exist anymore,
1) They were native to Atlanitis and they became extinct when Atlantis fell into the ocean.
2) When Noah buit the arc, he tried to get two unicorns on. They were playful creatures and didnt want to get on the boat. They played for so long they didnt realize that the world was starting to flood. By the time they realized, it was too late to get on the boat and so drowned.

I really don't know but when I was a child I was told that when god told Moses to get two of each animal (male & female) and put them on the ark that the unicorns hid from him. So I maybe they did at one time... we may never know for sure...

When I was a kid I had a bookmark with a picture of a unicorn on it and a quote "In some things you just have to believe."
In life my belief is "Anything is possible." Possible but unlikely.

not sure actually. I think they are a myth, based upon stories told by people to "embellish" other things. There mat be creature with a unicorn, ie one horn coming out of their head, but the ones depicted in cartoons and other fantasies, no.

To Fuct: If they do exist, you wouldn't be abler to own one like a horse!!! I think there has to be some being that humans have not discovered yet that is larger than the average bacteria. Who knows? It could be fairies, Unicorns, Elves, anything!!!

Not in the way we think of them. The bible talks about unicorns, but basically it was like a wild ox.

sure.
right there with the flying reindeer and
fire breathing dragons.
do the unicorns in your fantasy world have wings, like Pegasus? Or just a horse with a spiral horn (and a rainbow in the background)?
