Things are not real, just ‘cos they make sense. You heard it here first.

My belief is that by the 14th century, unicorns were hunted to extinction the same way rhinos were almost hunted to extinction for the medicinal/magical abilities of their horns.

The medieval unicorn had the body of a deer, the beard of a goat, the head of a horse, the tail of a lion and a large horn on its head. It’s only later that we decided they were just horses with horns.

Unicorns are real, they’re called Rhinocerous.

[you can see here](https://collectionapi.metmuseum.org/api/collection/v1/iiif/467642/940931/main-image) a medieval depiction. Notice the cloven hooves (2 toes per foot like a deer, not 1 like a horse)
