One of the fascinating stories that travelers often tell about creatures they have seen in new lands far away is the one-horned horse.

This species has a head and body like a horse, front legs like a chamois foot, a tail like a lion’s tail, and a beard like a goat’s beard. Each of these solitary horns has a long, twisted horn in the center of its forehead.

This creature appears in many different cultures with different names. Unicorns in Latin, Monokeios in Greek, Unicórnio in Portuguese, Chi Lin in Chinese, Kirin or Sin-you in Japanese, Karkadann in Persian, Eenhorn in Dutch, Einhorn in German, Licorne in French, Unicornio in Spanish, Alicorno in Italian, Had — Keren in Hebrew, Enhorning in Swedish… They are described as horse-like creatures, slim bodies with horns glittering shine. But the characteristics vary from culture to culture. Westerners consider these creatures wild and untamable. While the Eastern people think that they are very peaceful, gentle, obedient and bring auspicious.

In some legends, this creature also has white wings like that of a swan and it can completely fly freely in the sky. It is said that its horn has magical powers, preventing any poison. That horn is therefore priceless and sought after to make a drinking glass. But to this day, no one has had any luck finding the strange creature in that legend…

However, it is not unfounded when people come up with the story of the poisoned animal. Since ancient times, in the age of dinosaurs that roamed the globe, creatures with horns on their heads were not uncommon. They are found almost everywhere in the Ancient Continent. The remaining fossils have proved their glorious existence in the past. But 65 million years have passed, are there any single-minded creatures like in the legends that have been told in the middle of today?

Somewhere in the cold deep blue ocean at the North Pole of the Earth, there is still a strange creature with a long spike that is splitting the water. It is not easy to see them in the North Sea and very little is known about this strange but real creature. And perhaps a long time ago, it was the origin of the legend of the unicorn legends.

It is believed that this beautiful horse-like creature must have existed somewhere far and long ago. To the early humans, these creatures were no ordinary species. The scene of the unicorn appearing in legends is often very beautiful places: empty patches of forest, where there are fountains murmuring with spring flowers in bloom, sparkling halo or sometimes in the middle of wings. Amazingly beautiful autumn forest.

According to legend, the unicorn is a resilient, fearless, agile and strong creature. Its bravery challenges all the most intrepid hunters and its agility makes them always fail. Only pure chaste girls can approach and ride unicorns.

In an old poem, it is said that this mythical creature disappeared from the human world because mankind has made it more and more evil by greed, jealousy… a miracle, like a rainbow, no one can grasp. Legend is like a sweet song that goes on with time.

That is why this beautiful creature is forever a symbol of revival, of beauty without blemish or blemish…
