Are unicorns real?

Look at that beautiful unicorn leaping through the fluffy, white clouds! It has a rainbow mane and a glowing horn on its head. We see them in stories, but have you ever found one in your backyard? That is because the sparkly horse is a legend made from our imagination.

But here is the secret: the idea for unicorns came from very real animals! Look down at the icy blue water to see the narwhal swimming. See its long, spiraling tusk? It is actually a very long tooth! Long ago, explorers found these and thought they belonged to magical horses.

Now, look over at the dusty ground where the rhinoceros lives. It is like a "land unicorn" with a strong horn made of tough skin. The mythical horse is a fun story, but nature’s real animals are even more amazing. We just have to look in the ocean and the wild to find them. Tiny Concepts.
