Unicorn Deer

By Alex in Animals & Pets on Jun 11, 2008 at 4:03 pm

Unicorn does exists, after all! A deer with a single horn in the center of its head has just been spotted in a nature preserve in Italy:

"This is fantasy becoming reality," Gilberto Tozzi, director of the Center of Natural Sciences in Prato, told The Associated Press. "The unicorn has always been a mythological animal."

The 1-year-old Roe Deer — nicknamed "Unicorn" — was born in captivity in the research center’s park in the Tuscan town of Prato, near Florence, Tozzi said.

He is believed to have been born with a genetic flaw; his twin has two horns.

    The line “A deer with a single horn” is incorrect. Deer have antlers which fall off and regrown in spring-summer.
    Horns are permanently there and are slow grown through a lifetime. (IE Bulls)
