Unicorn Facts:
Actually the Unicorn is thought to be just a myth, but hey it's a pretty cool character!!!
The Unicorn
is a legendary animal, one might say mythical but for the numerous
historical accounts of its existence and description. Cave drawings in
Lascaux, France depict a horse-like animal with a single straight horn
that archeologists have playfully named "the unicorn." Aboriginal
paintings found in South Africa and South America are said to be those
of unicorns, since they look like no other animal. In 1977, a South
American scientist was recorded as stating he believed unicorns to be
one of South America's "lost" species, hunted out of existence in
pre-history. Still, due to lack of fossil records and other hard-core
evidence, most scientists believe the unicorn has never existed.
The modern-day unicorn is depicted as a white horse with a long
spiraled golden or white horn coming from its forehead. This has not
always been so. In medieval times, the unicorn was considered to be the
size of a donkey or goat. It was white, but had the head of a deer, the
body of a horse, the tail of a lion, the beard of a goat and cloven
hooves.Click the link below to print out and custom color the Unicorn. Have Fun Learning Today!!!!
