An animal expert in Italy is claiming to have found proof of the existence of unicorns after he stumbled upon a young roe deer with a single horn growing from the centre of its forehead.
''It's proof that the mythical unicorn celebrated in iconography and legends was probably not just a fantastic creature but a real animal: a deer or other species with an anomaly similar to that of our deer,'' said the centre's director Gilberto Tozzi.
Marco Polo claimed to have spotted a unicorn on his travels, but from his description of an "ugly" animal wallowing in mud, it is believed he had stumbled upon a rhino.

I give this 7 out of 10 Heaps Goods. My roommate used to always come home talking about seeing unicorns. Although it's different and acceptable for her. She was the kind that if left unattended in primary school, you'd fear she'd eat her derwent pencils, or worse of all, yours!
