That's Why Everyone Is Crazy About Unicorns............besteducationpage

SUMMARY:

- According to some legends, unicorns looked like goats! Besides one horn, they supposedly also have a goat's beard, cloven hooves, and a lion's tail. In fact, this less-than-graceful description is a more traditional version of

the unicorn.

- The first mention of a unicorn dates back to the 4th century. Greek physician Ctesias heard descriptions of this unusual creature from travelers who had visited faraway exotic countries.

- The Chinese had their own version of the unicorn called ki-lin. This creature had a multi-colored coat and a 12-foot-long horn protruding out of its skull. People believed that ki-lin brought good luck.

- Some people believed that unicorns were real but lived in remote and hard-to-reach places, while others were sure that unicorns went extinct long ago.

- What people took for this magical creature was an animal called Elasmotherium. It was a rhinoceros species that lived in the steppes of Eurasia. Nicknamed the Siberian Unicorn, this was a huge creature the size of a mammoth that had a big saber-like horn jutting out of its forehead.

- There’s a theory that narwhals are what inspired people to create a beautiful legend about unicorns. Actually, some people still think that narwhals, like unicorns, are creatures of myths and folklore.

- The narwhal’s most prominent feature is the tusk in the middle of its forehead that looks like a horn. It can grow a whopping 9 feet long and protrudes from the left side of the narwhal's mouth.

- One more kind of unicorn, also known as Naso annulatus, lives in the warm tropical waters of the Red Sea and the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Some species have a long bony horn that grows when the fish matures.

- Even scientists can't explain the mystery as to why the unicorn fish needs its long horn-like nose.

you know what I've always wondered

what's up with unicorns anyway I mean

who decided to stick a horn on a horse

sprinkle some magic on it and call it a

day

all jokes aside you really can't help

but wonder with childlike curiosity our

unicorns actually real well this

question has puzzled people for 3,000

years so I decided to investigate okay

back to the majestic being we see

literally everywhere from coffee cups

and ice cream to beauty products

stationery and kids toys but what I

couldn't understand was why unicorns

were just as popular among adults as

they were among four-year-olds is it

because they're a symbol of magic and

wonder beauty and innocence elusiveness

and singularity let's start from the

beginning according to legends the

unicorn is a wild creature that lives in

the forest and represents Grace and

purity it's a strong and powerful Beast

which makes it really hard to capture

one its horn has the power to heal all

sicknesses and make poisoned water safe

for drinking oh yeah and they're pretty

vain too unicorns can supposedly spend

hours admiring themselves in the mirror

or the surface of a lake that was a fun

fact I had no idea about I've always

imagined a unicorn as a beautiful white

horse like creature with a pointed

spiraling horn on its forehead I think

that's how most people picture them

right so imagine my surprise when

found out that this wasn't the only

description of the mysterious animal

according to some legends unicorns

looked like goats besides one horn they

supposedly also have a goat's beard

cloven hooves and a lion's tail in fact

this less than graceful description is a

more traditional version of the unicorn

I was also pretty surprised to find out

that unicorns existed in many cultures

even though they had slight differences

in appearance the first mention of a

unicorn dates back to the 4th century

Greek physician teases her descriptions

of this unusual creature from travelers

who had visited faraway exotic countries

they told stories about donkeys that

were bigger than horses with white

bodies got dark red head in blue eyes in

the middle of the forehead of course

these creatures had a single black red

and white horn that was over a foot in

half long the Chinese had their own

version of the unicorn called Chi mihn

this creature had a multicolored coat

and a total foot long horn protruding

out of its skull people believed that

chi'lan brought good luck and while I

always thought that the unicorn was a

large creature the size of a horse

physiologist a twelfth century book with

tales of different beasts and legendary

creatures mentioned that the unicorn was

a small animal no bigger than a baby

goat so according to it a unicorn

standing next to you would only be

slightly taller than where your knees

are in any case I was convinced that

people have believed in unicorns for

centuries and there were not only

legends but

so first-hand accounts of people

actually coming face-to-face with one of

these unusual creatures such famous

people as Julius Caesar Marco Polo and

Aristotle discussed the nature of the

elusive Beast some people believe that

unicorns were real but lived in remote

and hard-to-reach places while others

were sure that unicorns went extinct

long ago that's when I came across a

scientific theory which suggests that

unicorns did actually exist only they

weren't exactly the unicorns you or I

imagine what people took for this

magical creature was an animal called

elasmotherium it was a rhinoceros

species that lived in the steppes of

Eurasia nicknamed the Siberian unicorn

this was a huge creature the size of a

mammoth that had a Sieber like horn

jutting out of its forehead

elasmotherium went extinct at the end of

the Ice Age but it may have been around

long enough for the ethics a tribe that

lived in northern Asia to mention this

animal in their legends in their

folklore this so-called unicorn was

described as a massive black bull with

one horn on the head

my first thought after coming across

this information was so unicorns are

actually giant rhinos well I guess it

does make sense when you think about it

I mean just look at the names of these

animals the term rhinoceros comes from

ancient Greek and it needs nose horn as

for the word unicorn it's derived from

the Latin unicorn as' or one horned but

what seeing the most interesting to me

was the fact that this latin word was

the translation of the greek word

monoceros

that sounds a lot like rhinoceros to me

plus roman author aplenty described the

monoceros as an ant the Monoceros has an

animal with the body of a horse a deer's

head elephant feet and the tail of a

lion and sticking right out of the

center of its head was a big black horn

was he not describing a rhino

I think so these facts almost persuaded

me that the Rhino and the Unicorn are

the same exact animal when I remembered

about the narwhal which is often called

the unicorn of the sea there's a theory

that narwhals are what inspired people

to create a beautiful legend about

unicorns actually some people still

think that narwhals like unicorns are

creatures of myths and folklore but in

fact narwhals are absolutely real

they're sea mammals which are close

relatives of beluga whales they prefer

the cold arctic waters near the shores

of Norway Russia Canada and Greenland

but almost 90% of all narwhals live in

Baffin Bay between Canada and Western

Greenland the narwhals most prominent

feature is the tusks in the middle of

its forehead that looks like a horn at

least I thought it was a horn before I

found out that it's actually a canine

tooth it can grow a whopping 9 feet long

and protrudes from the left side of the

narwhals mouth

in fact narwhals only have two teeth and

just the upper tooth in males grows

through the lip into that super long

spiraling tusk as for females their

teeth aren't that prominent and don't

protrude in some cases narwhals may have

two horns where both their teeth grow

through the upper lip like I mentioned

earlier according to legends the

unicorn's horn contains most of the

creatures magical powers well you could

also say this is true about the narwhals

horn only it has great sensory powers

the

thing is that the narwhals tooth doesn't

have any enamel so when water flows

through it to the nerve endings the

animal is able to analyze its

surroundings it can feel the temperature

of the sea or how salty the water is a

I'd say that counts is magic what I

understood after doing my research was

that either the Rhino or the narwhal

could be the mythical unicorn but just

as I was about to call it a day and

finish this little investigation of mine

I stumbled across something that made me

wonder if perhaps I wasn't being a bit

too hasty with my conclusions what is

the truth behind the unicorn is the

unicorn fish it'd be so obvious also

known as the nasal and a lattice this

kind of unicorn lives in the warm

tropical waters of the Red Sea in the

Indian and Pacific Oceans some species

have a long bony horn that grows when

the fish matures the blue spine unicorn

fish can reach two feet in length and

has a horn that's about two and a half

inches long even scientists can explain

the mystery as to why the unicorn fish

needs its long horn like nose during my

investigation I got to know so much new

and exciting information about unicorns

and their possible relatives but I never

did manage to come to a conclusion about

where this mythical creature came from

but what about you which theory about

the unicorns origin do you believe sound
