Piltdown horse?

[Larry Lucido]

Rhinoceros?

[Jim W N]

I suppose it’s as real as Camelot...

[Red Badger]

That doesn’t look a thousand five hundred years old..............

It’s a one eyed, one horned flying purple people eater if you ask me.

Pretty easy to prove/disprove.

I am suspicious about how fresh it looks.

Unicorns certainly existed. That’s why cultures with no contact depicted the same animal.

We already know what happened to the unicorns:

Not only do they exist, but you can see them at most major zoos. You have to keep in mind two things:

1) The same people who described them as a horse with a horn also described a hippo as a “river horse.”

2) Unicorns were said to have massive, thick legs and feet like an elephant, super-tough hides, and were extremely rugged.

3) The horn grew out of its nose, not its forehead.

Now, what creature looks no more unlike a horse than a hippo, has a massive horn on its nose, has legs and feet like an elephant, is built extremely ruggedly, and has a thick, thick hide?

The fairy-tale girly horses are the imagination of someone who read no further than “horse” and “horn.”

[dangus]

The horn is curved the wrong way (Subtle hoax?), and seems to be way too far up the skull (long mutant secondary horn?), plus it seems to lack the upward swinging back of the skull. I never realized how much rhinos’ skulls look sorta like primitive ceratopsians. [The most famous ceratopsian is a triceratops, but there are earlier ones with only one horn and more modest frills in the back of their skulls. But actual ceratopsians grew out the frill before growing out their nasal horns, as far as I know.]

But I’m no expert, and I dont have nice 3-D images of them to put next to each other. Definitely seems more rhino-like than horse-like, though.

That's right. The House *and* the Senate.

[maddog55]

Obviously fake.

Sadly the unicorns went extinct because they failed to reproduce:
