What About This Thing?

You all know that I love horses, but what is this thing? Is it a horse? Why have I never seen one?

Yes, it's a unicorn. Is it a mythical creature? If so, why do I see its name in the Holy Bible?


One old song says that the reason we don't see them now is that they were mischievous during the loading of Noah's Ark and did not get on the boat. They all perished.

Those who claim it is a myth also say that it is a good creature rather than the bad creatures that myths often create. According to some old references the animal is fierce but in a good way. They also make claims about its solitary beauty. Some claim that the appendage on its head can make poisons non-toxic.

It is usually considered to be some type of horse nowadays although in the past it was pictured as having the beard of a billy goat and split hoofs, which horses do not have.

Although the animal is usually considered a 'wild' animal, it is lovable, just as the Koala or Panda are lovable. The creature seems to have preferred to not be around people but was gentle when it was forced to be with them.

Since I love horses, I would really like to see one for myself.
