If you look into early unicorn lore, their horns were never white, they were always described as black and seeping red fluid. There's a type of fungal growth equines can get (goats, humans and other mammals can also be infected with it) which causes a bony protrusion that could have helped develop the legend of unicorns. It's interesting to note that sightings occured worldwide and were not isolated in one or two locals. There's a story I know of where a native american tribe used to hunt andeat these animals with the meat being "quite palletable".
future humans will hear the myth of elephants with trunks
Great information! And of course, royalty would have access to the horns and have them in their "collection" of valuable things. Due to how magical the horns apparently were, and the unicorn had to be killed to get it, they could have been killed out of existence, which would be sad if true. You have certainly presented a strong case for their existence. Well done!
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed the investigation :) and I completely agree!

Yes! Thank you!!
Most depictions of unicorns showcase them with horns basically indentical to those of narwhals. Except a narwhal "horn" is actually a tooth. So would that mean that those depictions of unicorns had teeth growing out of the top of their heads?
They're not the same creature.
@@YourHerosQuest Not what I'm asking. I'm asking if a unicorn horn is a tooth because they are morphologically similar.
Unicorns are real they're called rhinos
Rhino would be a bicorn as rhino often are two horned, a large one and a smaller one.
Not the same creature
@@RottenRossDifferent kinds of rhinoceras. Some have one, some have two. An example of a one horned rhino is an Indian rhinoceras.
