Does the Mythical Unicorn Exist or Not?
Pretty much everyone wants to believe in the magnificent unicorn. They are one of the mythical creatures that seem to be loved on the collective whole. Robert Vavra did a great job of convincing us all that they just might exist.
There is unicorn mythology from all corners of the world, however, everyone has to make that call for themselves, even though most of us will continue to believe somewhere deep in our hearts. Perhaps that’s how they do exist, because so many people wish it to be true.
A Real Unicorn Skeleton?
This is convincing, although I doubt it’s validity. I was able to find news of a unicorn skeleton exhibition, but it was difficult to tell if it was this that was displayed.
It’s probably just a goat skeleton, but that doesn’t dull it’s cool factor.
Just like a Tiffany’s box, the packaging really sells it. Put a goat skeleton in a box with unicorns on the lid and viola you have unearthed a mythical being.
I’m not a total skeptic, but you’d think if someone found a real live unicorn skeleton there would be news about it somewhere.
The horn on the nose is really what looks fishy, however if it isn’t real it is a well done fake.
A Scientific Letdown
This guy doesn’t buy it, he’s a man of science and the scientific method has no time for magical horse beings, no matter how beautiful they are.
Proof For the Believers
If the above has made you skeptical, never fear, I left the best for last. Even if only a little part of you believes, this video is testimony enough.

are unicorns seriously real ??? wow thats freaky
June 13th, 2008 at 12:26 pm
I guess that depends on how much you believe in them Lilly.
June 27th, 2008 at 11:17 pm
that last video was a joke in sweden or somewhere where someone put fake horns on wild horses and let them loose to see what happened. thats not real but i still believe
June 27th, 2008 at 11:27 pm
Grace - I think it was an advertisement clip.
And I believe too
July 19th, 2008 at 5:04 am
i think the first one is reall and i do think that unicorns are fake.srry guys.
August 2nd, 2008 at 7:24 am
ok maybe some of it is real and some is a hoax but from my research and putting things together a unicorn is not nessasarily a horse with a horn it can be any animal with a horn in the middle of its head and if you really put it all together it means unique horn basically an abnormality in creatures where a animal that is supposed to have 2 horns but it fuses together creating one or where a animal that isn’t supposed to have a horn ends up having one that doesn’t make it magical or anything they are just rare to see. well thats just my theory
August 6th, 2008 at 12:52 pm
I believe in unicorns.
August 9th, 2008 at 1:13 pm
….ok i’ll go with cc but the 2 videos are both wrong the unicorn isnt a horse and isnt a goat if u really wont to logical get ur facts straight. the unicorn is really an animal that has the body of a horse, the tail of a loin, cleft feet like a goat, a beard like a goat, and one horn. so all in all no they are not real, and i wont believe that until some shows me footage or a live picture of a creature that fits that description. so the ppl who think of it as just a horse with a horn in the middle of its head….srry to burst ur bubble but ur wrong!!!!
August 25th, 2008 at 2:36 am
I totally believe in Unicorns, I don’t care what anyone says they may not exist now but I totally believe that they used to. And they are BEAUTIFUL creatures forget the beard of a goat and elephants feet, if people don’t believe why do they seem to have such clear descriptions of what they look like in there head?
And if it has come from a source they read or something, how did the source get their information? By seeing.
And if they didn’t see it then, the description can’t be right yes?? Thought so =]
September 11th, 2008 at 10:21 am
Unicorns are extremly rare and only live in Europe. Only about 5 are still around, each a different color.
September 11th, 2008 at 10:21 am
Don’t even ask how I know this.
September 11th, 2008 at 5:12 pm
So how do you know this?
And what colors are they?
September 12th, 2008 at 3:04 am
I am a werewolf. I’ve seen them before.
The colors are as follows: white, black, brown, chestnut, and palomino. They have normal horse colors, but gold horns.
Their feet are not cloven like a goat’s. Their manes reach to their shoulders and their tails are on the ground slightly.
September 12th, 2008 at 3:07 am
CC, your theory is waaaay off. And the second video was in Sweden, and it was a grey horse with the horn strapped to his head. SOmeone was next to it with a halter.
September 12th, 2008 at 11:49 am
Have any pictures?
September 18th, 2008 at 6:33 am
i believe!
October 11th, 2008 at 7:31 pm
Huh! I do believe in unicorns, definetly, but a WEREWOLF? You have got to be kidding! Did you think we’d buy THAT?!
October 12th, 2008 at 4:16 am
Haha, if the unicorn exists, then why can’t the werewolf?
October 13th, 2008 at 5:16 pm
Well, for one thing, I am very religous. I remember the unicorn being mentioned in the bible, but never the werewolf.
October 13th, 2008 at 6:33 pm
Unicorns are mentioned in the King James version of the bible, but I’ve yet to find evidence of them in any other versions.
I doubt there is mention of a werewolf, but I wouldn’t make my decision based on lack of a biblical reference. The bible can’t possibly mention every creature on the planet.
October 15th, 2008 at 4:47 am
Well, we each have our own beliefs. Like me, for example. I believe in unicorns and centaurs, and even dragons, but not the werewolf, and stuff like that.
Who knows what’s really out there?
PS-why is my avatar so retarded looking?
October 15th, 2008 at 10:56 am
Haha, the avatars all look a little twisted…they are randomly generated.
Perhaps some of these creatures only exist because of our belief in them. Personally I think it can all be out there, especially the werewolf. Half person, half wolf, what a clever being they must be…no wonder there are so few sightings.
October 17th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
Wow…all I know is there’s many things in this world we don’t even know. I don’t really think if unicorns exist or not, but I do believe in ufos and ghosts are real.
October 19th, 2008 at 5:08 am
no one proved that the unicorns,dragons, werewolves, vampires, ghosts etc exist. but no on proved that they DON’T exist, either. so they might just well exist out there. I for one, like to believe that the whole world cannot be explained by scientists only. I like to believe there are things that we do not know.Magic. Things magical. Things that we only dream of. After all, all you can do is dream. dream and hope.
October 19th, 2008 at 5:09 am
btw, if a werewolf would have internet connection, why would she/he SAY it? they should keep themselves secret, shouldn’t they?
October 21st, 2008 at 3:20 pm
actually unicorns are real….and so are werewolves you just have to read into it and understand what the creature actually is like the unicorn waz found in i think illinois but it wazn’t a horse or a goat it waz a deer with a horn in the middle of his head, and it waz real….a unicorn is something with a horn growing in the middle of his head and it can be any animal
every little myth is real in its own way
October 24th, 2008 at 11:23 pm
Unicorns are soo real but a werewolf RIGHT……..
October 24th, 2008 at 11:28 pm
unicorns are myths to some but i think they r real i believe everything u guys r saying except the werewolf Kiyona Zero guy if u r 1 then wat do u look like??
p.s hi
October 28th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
wow the 2nd vidio didnt look that fake and it was NOT just a gray horse with a horn strapped on it it was obvously white and theres no such thing as a pure white horse… but a unicorn yya those r real
IMA BELEIVER
November 1st, 2008 at 11:35 am
hahaha! i totally believe in werewolves! and vampires…haven’t you ever read twilight???
November 1st, 2008 at 11:36 am
sry, i know that has nothing to do with unicorns. lol!
November 4th, 2008 at 6:44 pm
wow guys xD
actually i do believe in unicorns… and CC, your theory is very reasonable. kinda interesting to read all this information. to be honest, the only reason im here is because im trying to find a mythical creature to draw… sounds kinda weird?
November 7th, 2008 at 10:01 am
The guy with the camera was fumbling so much it was hard to tell. So blurry! I did pause it though, and perhaps it IS a UNICORN!
November 9th, 2008 at 1:49 pm
ok, so that second vid didnt look too realistic, sorry, and i didnt watch the first one….slow computers reik!
brittany, i agree with you on the bible thing. if they are mentioned in the bible, they must have existed sometime!!
karen, twilight is AWESOME!! love it love it love it! <3<3<3
any mythical creature could be real. humans simply cannot comprehend the supernatural world. i can use your comment, paige, for this too. God didnt list every kind of creature in the bible, so who knows what’s really out there??!!
November 10th, 2008 at 10:18 pm
I think unicorns can be real because there is just too much we don’t know about this world. Sea monsters are real too, until some scientist comes up with a “scientific” name for it. Than they say they knew about it the whole time
November 14th, 2008 at 4:13 pm
[...] fact, as I started searching I realized just how many exotic one-horned creatures there are out there. Some of them are named after the unicorn, some are deformities, and some are [...]
November 21st, 2008 at 3:03 pm
I THINK UNICORNS ARE REAL AND FAKE AT THE SAME TIME!THEY CAN BE REAL BEACUSZ WE DNT KNOW ALL THE ANIMALS IN THE WORLD .THE ONLY PEOPLE PETSZ ARE CATS AND DOGS AND THEY CAN BE FAKE BY HAVING MAGICAL POWERS I MEAN COM,E ON WHO BELEIEVES THEY HAVE MAGICAL POWERS THATS JUST A BUNCH OF BULL THATSZ SOUNDS FICTIONAL
November 25th, 2008 at 6:19 am
i believe there real no mater what
November 25th, 2008 at 4:42 pm
Unicorns do exist. BTW I’m no longer a werewolf, but a vampire. You may think it’s unbelievable that I can change but it can be done. Anyway, that skeleton is so fake it’s not even funny. No human has seen a unicorn, no human has heard a unicorn, and unless you aren’t human, you never will.
November 26th, 2008 at 9:01 pm
Kiyona Zero, i admire your dreaming status, but it is extremely ludicrous for you to be something other than human. if you were, you would be endangering your kind from saying you were a vampire/werewolf/whatever you are and would probably be eliminated for your foolishness. As for your say that unicorns only exist in europe, you are very mislead. And it may be difficult for a unicorn to appear before a human because the fact is:
Unicorns only appear to the pure of heart and the innocent. They protect animals, forests, and places of natural wildlife.
A human almost never remains pure when they come of age, therefore it is most likely no unicorn will appear. No hard feelings, and i hope you get your facts and head on straight.
November 27th, 2008 at 9:27 am
You talk funny. For that reason, it’s hard to acknowledge what you said. Unicorns don’t protect anything bu themselves. They are killers too and will kill any human to protect themselves. Like you, a human (a stupid one at that), would know anything about me. Demons are so much smarter than humans. I hope you die :3
November 27th, 2008 at 9:47 pm
OMFG!!!!!! kiyona zero ur a vampire?!?!?!? its sooooooooooooooooooooo kool to find some1 my own kind!!! =) r u a blout like i am? i LOVE me some blood!!! id kill 4 it! LOL!!!!(its an inside joke) i almost got kicked out of school bcuz of it though. normals!!! they just dont understand!!! all i did was bite my teacher’s hand until it blead!!! she was really ticking me off!!!! o well. =I i wish we can some day meet.=) that would b nice cuz the only other of my kind r my freak parents!!!! soooooooooo weird!!! o, and if we do meet, can i plz come back w/ u? i need 2 b free and see new land, and spread my wings and fly!!! =)
BTW: unicorns r real. iv seen one w/ my own eyes, and it almost killed me!!!! not fun!!!=( yea, they r the same color as horses, not pink or blue or purple or anything stupid like that!!!
November 28th, 2008 at 1:04 am
Kiyona Zero, I admire your tenaciousness and imaginative mind but, might I ask how you know so much on these subjects? You seem to be younger than me so I think I would be able to say you are being a tiny bit childish son’t you think? I believe in unicorns, werewolves and the like but I don’t claim to be something like or know all about them. There is a limit you need to envoke when “pretending”, especially when a werewolf or vampire DOESN’T have or isn’t supposed to have any INTERNET CONNECTION…you know…just a thought…
November 29th, 2008 at 4:52 pm
WOW. Okay, unicorns, I believe, are real. They have been mentioned in so many cultures including the BIBLE. (Yes, only the King James, but that was because when the other more modern translations came about, people were skeptic of creatures they did not see.
Most unicorn sightings were by children, who would see white animals (of varied species) with one horn.
I believe that unicorns will only be seen by those who are pure of heart, or young.
More than one place I’ve found it said that the unicorn was a genetic ‘mutation’ that took place when it developing. Often it’s said that the melanin and horn chromasomes are so similar that when a cell for one is changed, the other is as well, producing albino (or white) animals with single horns.
November 29th, 2008 at 7:43 pm
I don’t think that you, Kiyona Zero, are a vampire. Nor a werewolf. First, werewolves are completely unpredictable. Second, vampires wouldn’t be on a computer, telling people that their vampires. Like Tsukiga said, I don’t think a vampire/werewolf would be endangering their kind. They COULD be eliminated. But, on the other hand, I believe in mythical creatures such as werewolves, unicorns, vampires, dragons, etc., etc…
Heres what I know and believe:
Vampires wouldn’t be on the computer telling people that they are vampires. It actually proves that the person saying they are a vampire is a fraud.
Werewolves are not wolves that stand up and have human-like hands. But they are giant wolves. (Odd isn’t it?) They can also very deadly, even more than regular wolves. Even MORE deadly than a wolf with rabies. Since, a wolf with rabies can be highly unpredictable. Werewolves are real.
Unicorns are horses that seem to be mutated, and have traits of a few other animals, such as lions, and goats. Lion’s tail, goat’s hooves, and the beard. Unicorns are NOT killers. They do protect areas and other unicorns. They are most likely to be horses. They sometimes live solitary on account of their lion trait. Even though lions mostly live with others in a pride. And unicorns can also live in herds. Their goat traits can give them a sense of protectiveness. Goats are very likely to buck at a human. And horses can kill like that. Again, like Tsukiga said, unicorns only appear to the pure of heart, and also to young humans, who can still believe in unicorns. Most humans do not have a pure heart so that is why many do not believe in them, because they don’t see them. Kiyona Zero, you are probably right about one thing, though: They live mostly in Europe. In high mountains, away from civilization. But other than that, you are stupid and you can go fall off a cliff. On account that you are NOT a vampire, so you can die like that.
Last thing, if you were to be a werewolf first and a vampire. you would be a bloodwolf. And i’ll kill 4 blood. You sound like a retarded highschool girl who needs a life.
That is all.
December 2nd, 2008 at 6:46 pm
Personally, Ive been to Europe all over and never seen a Unicorn…not to say I dont believe there COULD be…but until there is proof that they exhist or proof they they dont exhist, im neutral on the matter.
December 3rd, 2008 at 9:09 am
What a sad and dreary place this world would be if it consisted merely of that which could be seen, heard, touched, measured, or weighed!
A mother’s love, a baby’s trust; the hope of better days ahead, the remembrance of joyful times now past; the elation brought forth by Bach, the sentimental wistfulness evoked by Capra; the aspiration that decent people feel towards that which is beautiful, just, and good…none of these may be placed beneath a microscope lens to confirm their existence.
Being immaterial, these qualities are neither defined by, nor confined to, time and space. Their existence cannot be proven with the flask or beaker, yet they are there, out of sight but never far away, apart and yet pervasive, and in their existing they make all other existence worthwhile.
Do Unicorns exist? Only those who have been deceived into believing the world fits within their hand would even ask so preposterous a question; all others know that these wise and gentle beasts are found in that place where childhood innocence persists, a land which glows forever in the light of Love and where Hatred, Fear, and Death are strangers and doubt and cynicism are nothing more than myths.
December 3rd, 2008 at 11:03 am
Wow Leland, I should get you to write for me…know anything about horses?
December 4th, 2008 at 11:02 am
awesome! i believe!
December 4th, 2008 at 9:23 pm
How does everyone know what vampires and werewolves do and don’t do? Who says vampires can’t go on the internet? Has anyone actually met one and had a little chat about what they do and don’t do. As far as I know, people get their information from books, TV shows and wikipedia… let me tell you, they are definitely reliable sources. I am a bio major, and I believe there are things we don’t know about on this earth, close to what we don’t know about in space.
So what it comes down to is who’s to say what werewolves, vampires, unicorns do and don’t do. I guess it is just what our imaginations tell us thus far. Could be pretty persuasive, but until I read a study on it, I won’t believe 100% on what the books say.
I do believe, though.
December 5th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
We found unicorn proof
December 5th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
We found unicorn proof omg its real
December 5th, 2008 at 4:17 pm

i totally think that unicorns are real. who wouldnt.the r the best creatures in the whole world
December 10th, 2008 at 8:16 am
I say that unicorns along w/ most other mythical creatures are real. Just because we havent seen them doesnt mean they dont exist. If you dont, i could see why you would be sceptic, but im a believer.
December 10th, 2008 at 11:38 am
hi how old are u lot
December 13th, 2008 at 6:07 pm
i do belive unicorns are real but in a diffrent demsion
December 14th, 2008 at 8:46 pm
I didn’t get to watch the unicorn flick your right wildwolf758 slow computers do suck. Karen I saw the movie Twilight but I didn’t get to read the book and I can’t beleive you don’t think that unicorns r real.Brittany u r right that it did say that in the bible I looked it up. Hey Paige, my cousins friend says that she is a werewolf but she lied because, she said if she bit me and it made me bleed. I would turn into a werewolf and then she said that, it had to be on a full moon at midnight that I was bleeding and she bit my cousin that day and it made her bleed and that night she started to bleed again at midnight on a full moon at her school SADD dance and she never turned into a werewolf and she got a boy friend. So that proves that werewolfs r not real!!!!! HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,
HEE,HEE,HEE,HEE,HEE,HEE,HEE,HEE,HEE,HEE,HEE,HEE.
I proved you wrong.
Oh ya GO PAUL u beleive in unicorns!!!!!
December 14th, 2008 at 8:51 pm
i am 10 and my cousin is 13. we r huge fans of mistical creatures!
December 17th, 2008 at 7:36 pm
unicorns are the only horse like creatures that i strongly believe in with a burning passion. if you are a nonbeliever i shall shun you for the rest of your existance and may the essence of the burning unicorn curse you forever. i strongly hope you believe after seeing this dead on proof!
good day and pleasable flying,
miss melon ball…
December 18th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
I kinda believe they are beautiful but it is hard to now that there was a horse with a horn on it
December 21st, 2008 at 12:46 pm
I totally believe in unicorns, mermaids, and werewolves.
Dragons, I’m not so sure, but I had a friend who said she saw one. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were real.
I don’t think werewolves exist as we think of it–someone turning into a wolf at the full moon? I don’t think so. I think it’s more like this: when you go into a meditative trance, you can leave your body and see things through your totem’s eyes ( a.k.a: power animal). If your totem is a wolf, you are a “werewolf.” Just my theory.
It’s very likely these things exist. I don’t think our ancestors just made it up. They saw it somewhere. There are millions of different kinds of animals on this earth–yes, literally millions. And scientists say we’ve only discovered a fraction of all that’s out there!
December 21st, 2008 at 1:02 pm
@ Brittany and others
I did a little research on unicorns in the Bible. They are mentioned several times, including in the book of Job along with a sea-monster. The word “unicorn” was actually “re’em” in Hebrew. No one knows what kind of animal that was, but some say it was an ox or a rhino or a dinosaur. Yeah, right!
Kinda like the leviathan in the book of Job. Some say it was a dino, but dinosaurs didn’t live at the same time as people–that I’d bet my life on. Why couldn’t it be an unknown type of sea animal? They say we know more about outer space than about our own oceans; a sea-monster (like Nessie) could definitely live out there.
December 21st, 2008 at 7:20 pm
Hey, I’m back again! All day I’ve been looking for info on unicorns. I went to the library to get a book by Odell Shepherd called “Lore of the Unicorn.” It looks hopeful.
Anyway, I wanted to say, on http://www.unicornlady.net there’s info on an Austrian naturalist called Antal Festetics. He was filming a vid in the Herz Mountains and he saw a unicorn.
Supposedly he taped it and the video is floating around out there somewhere.
He was interviewed by a magazine called Die Ganze Woch(e). But when I tried to google for more info, I didn’t find anything of interest.
I’m not sure it’s real. Anyway, Wikipedia has a stub on Antal Festetics, so he is a real person at least.
If anyone finds more info, you’ve gotta tell us all!!
December 28th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
Numbers 24:8 - “….he hath as it were the strength of an UNICORN….”
That’s enough for me. They existed during the age of the Exodus of Israel from Egypt….
January 1st, 2009 at 9:40 am
i think that unicorns are real and i dont mean the goat i mean the horse and for the stupid guy hwo said they arnt real you just ruined millions of little girls dreams of thinking their real and im 12 AND I BELIEVE IN THEM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO NEXT TIME YOU BETTER SAY THEIR REAL OR ELSE!!!
January 5th, 2009 at 7:55 am
Ok…Don’t believe in unicorns!? Well let me tell you all something….Have you ever seen something move in the corner of your eye and then you look where you saw something moved but nothing was there? Well that was a mythical creature…They are real and I have believed in them my whole life! I don’t really care if you don’t believe in them…but if you don’t YOUR wrong…Sometimes when you see that something move in the corner of your eye and yet nothing was there and you might have caught a glimpse of a mythical creature….There is curiousity everywhere if they are real…and They are real! no one can deny that if you really believe…Just believe harder and then you might see one instead of just getting a glimpse and Im only 11 yet I have caught many glimpses of those wonderful, beautiful, and adorable creatures…!!!!
